 | | The first was the publication, on October 19, of a right-wing manifesto Pour un Québec lucide (For a clear-eyed vision of Quebec), by former PQ premier Bouchard and some other prominent péquistes but also by equally prominent Liberals. |
 | | A current example of this is the Manifeste pour un Québec solidaire, a response to the Bouchard manifesto initiated by UFP and OC leaders, which was published on November 1 under the signatures of a wide range of personalities including some PQ and BQ parliamentarians. |
 | | It is noteworthy, however, that the manifestoes of both the "lucides" and the "solidaires," as they are being referred to in the media, present their case in a uniquely Quebec context, without reference to Canada and the federal state. |
