Directors of the linked Sustainability Network released a note in which they explain the internal split in the party, which could lead to a stampede of members.
The demonstration is a reaction to measures considered authoritarian adopted by the dominant wing of the party, led by federal deputy and former senator Heloísa Helena (RJ).
The crisis is not new, but it was in which there were statutory changes that would concentrate power in the current management and take away space from the Marina wing.
and the systematic violation of the party’s founding principles and values”, says the note, which was signed by the end of this Thursday afternoon (18) by around 150 members and leaders.
In addition to Marina herself, federal deputy Ricardo Galvão (SP), state deputy Marina Helou (SP), São Paulo councilor Marina Bragante, national spokesperson Iaraci Dias and the party treasurer, Giovanni Mockus, signed the document.
According to them, “all attempts at dialogue and institutional reconstruction have been systematically blocked by those who want to install an artificial, authoritarian and hostile hegemony to one of the party’s founding principles: the radicalization of democracy and the search for decision-making via progressive consensus.”
The note goes so far as to say that there is an action to “destruct” the Network, which had Marina as one of its founders, in 2015.
The signatories also point out that the statutory change process was opaque and say there is a persecutory nature to the changes, which include a direct attack on Marina.
People close to the minister say that her departure from the party is imminent
The wing linked to Helena claims that the changes only standardized rules that already existed in practice.
The party’s current command says that the essence of the statute was preserved and that “contradictions and redundancies” were removed to optimize the party’s functioning.
