	After having ensured its hegemony on the whole of the independence movement, by fear of losing the control of its troops, the Parti québécois killed militancy as the free and costless expression of the political engagement of those who were ready to pay of their person and to take the time it takes to see the desire for the political independence of Quebec progress in the conscience of the people~~, a~~ political independence conceived as the sole means of realizing a society project to the measure of their needs, their aspirations and their values.

	Perhaps are they still under the influence of the film which shows the effervescence caused by such a project of national liberation, in the years 1958-1968, but all the people who spoke in places where I presented it, including those of less than thirty years, deplore the current absence of a movement where they could again militate for independence, rather than to be destined to accomplish rigorously framed and partisan tasks. Activities, moreover, more and more often remunerated or, at the very least, whose expenses they involve are refunded.

	This conception of political activity is ~~from~~ now on so well anchored in the manner of being and of acting of the Parti québécois that ~~it evacuates~~ from the start the relevance of a real militancy, even in this moment when it claims to want to retake the flame of the independence ~~cause~~. Therefore, its president, who is also Premier, hastened to publicly examine the proposal of Mr [[Wikipedia:Jacques Parizeau\|Parizeau]] to finance the resumption of the debate, even if it also means financing that of the adversary.

	How did we manage to start believing that a people can escape their secular impotence and take their destiny in their own hands by paying communication professionals and advertising mercenaries to make the people aware of the need and the urgency of giving themselves a country if they want to shape it to their own image and their own way of doing things?

	How did we manage to start forgetting that only militants, freely committed with conviction and determination, in their family work milieus, in the school and in ~~the~~ vicinity, can be the catalysts of the political intuition of the majority of the people, that in Quebec, under no circumstances would it be possible to resolve the social problems without resolving the national question and conversely.

	When all those who carry the independence project can be mobilized to fight along with the young people in order to create a free and just Quebec society, starting from their own problems, concerns and objectives and which are those of our time, then the young people will necessarily be interested in the national question since it remains the paramount question.
