Parti Rpublicain Du QubecThe Parti rpublicain du Qubec or PRQ (in English: Quebec Republicain Party) was a political party that advocated the independence of Quebec from Canada. The PRQ was founded on November, 1962 by Marcel Chaput, who was also one of the founders of the Rassemblement pour l'indpendance nationale in 1960. At the time, the RIN was not a political party, only a political movement, and the executive had refused to run candidates in elections. Chaput believed that independentist movement should run candidates in general elections. He had run in the 1962 Quebec election as an unaffiliated candidate. Shortly after the election, he founded the PRQ. Quickly, the party was plagued by financial problems, and it never achieved the goal of gathering all the sovereignist forces. The Parti rpublicain du Qubec folded in 1964 without contesting a single election. The same year, the Rassemblement pour l'indpendance nationale finally decided to become a political party.
