The former Prime Minister Alain Juppé spent an entire year in Quebec. Convicted in the case of fictitious jobs of the city of Paris, in January 2004, he had found in this temporary exile material to recharge his batteries and to look, by far, the “collective depression” which he then saw France affected.
Edouard Philippe, who was walking for the first time in his life Quebec soil, does not intend to linger. In any case, not immediately. “I am still in the French political game,” he explained to the political science students of the Laval University of Quebec, ahead of whom he held a conference on Wednesday, September 7. “If, by extraordinary, in a few years I came out, I have always dreamed of being a professor abroad, I launch it like that,” he said, looking at the rectrice of the university , without seeming to believe too much about this hypothesis.
