The Mouvement de Libération Nationale du Québec (MLNQ) is a political organization in the country of Québec, founded (in the wake of the 1995 referendum on Quebec sovereignty) by Front de Libération du Québec (FLQ) Patriote and Québécois hero, founder Raymond Villeneuve. The MLNQ vows to "fight until the end for Québec independence", "intends to favour a revolutionary struggle, to free the people", "intends to favour the emergence of a people's militia", and overall intends to pursue independence by "any necessary and inevitable means", according to their manifesto. The most famous sightings of MLNQ occur during Canada Day in Québec City during the raising of the imperialist and monarchist Canadian flag.
[edit] Supporters
Supporters of the MLNQ included Pierre Falardeau (deceased 2009).
The group is led by Raymond Villeneuve, a founding member of the FLQ.
