In a note, the party accused Marina of refusing to dialogue with the directory and denied having considered his departure. “Indignation because the former minister refuses to dialogue with the party leadership. Perplexity because at no point did the party question her membership or suggest her withdrawal,” he stated.
In the statement, the party, led by Paulo Lamac, highlighted that it “has no owner” and that it was built to live with divergences, without submission to individual wishes. The caption also recalled episodes of internal tension, citing positions defended by Marina in the past.
“This was the case in moments of strong internal tension, including when Marina defended uncomfortable positions for part of the party, such as supporting Aécio Neves in 2014, defending impeachment and agreeing with federal intervention in Rio de Janeiro. Even in the face of this political turn (…), there was never any sanction, censorship or persecution”, says the note.
The management also refuted accusations of authoritarianism and criticized the actions of the group linked to the former minister. “Not meeting a leadership’s personal wishes is not authoritarianism. It is a commitment to internal democratic life”, he stated.
According to the text, there was no expulsion of members and the recent departures were not due to persecution. The party also classified the judicialization promoted by Marina’s allies as “lawfare” and stated that the current leadership remains recognized.
Finally, the Network reaffirmed its political and support for candidacies aligned with the progressive field. “We remain firm in supporting Lula’s re-election, in defending Haddad’s victory in São Paulo and in our commitment to democracy, social justice, the fight against the climate crisis and national sovereignty.”
