Nicolas Marceau, former Minister of Finance of Quebec, has announced that he will be a candidate for the Parti Québécois (PQ) in the riding of Marie-Victorin, located in Longueuil. This decision was revealed through several sources.

During a presentation held on Tuesday, Paul St-Pierre Plamondon, the leader of the PQ, introduced four members of his economic team, including Marceau. This announcement marks a return to politics for Marceau, who was a key player in the Péquiste government.

This move is seen as an attempt to strengthen the PQ's presence in the region, which faces its political challenges. Marceau is committed to seeking votes and contributing to the dynamics of his party.
