“It is with joy and excitement that I announce today my candidacy for the presidency of the Union of Artists in the next election,” the actor wrote on Twitter and Facebook.
“After thinking about it, I realized that my passion for the many profound issues affecting Quebec culture could not find better expression than within the UDA,” continued the one who had tried to work under the Parti banner Québécois Rosemont to be elected in the last provincial elections.
Sophie Prégent will resign next March after 10 years as president of the trade union, which brings together almost 13,000 artists.
The election period for the election of his successor will take place from March 20th to 23rd. The new President will take office on March 27th.
