(Québec) Two people have reportedly been arrested for death threats against Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois since the last election campaign, according to the co-spokesperson for Québec solidaire (QS).

Mr. Nadeau-Dubois made this revelation Thursday morning in a press scrum in the wake of the controversy between him and columnist Gilles Proulx.

He believes that the statements made by the commentator to QUB radio endanger the safety of his family.

It was then that he illustrated his point by revealing that he had received death threats and that two people had been arrested.

The QS parliamentary leader did not elaborate on what specifically happened and La Presse Canadienne did not confirm the arrests.
