Electoral Participation Limited to 2021
To address misinformation circulating in the media and on social networks, the Green Party provided specific details regarding Mr. Valladares’ history. While he did run under the party’s banner during the 2021 elections, the PVEM clarified that he was an external candidate nominated as part of a coalition with the Labor Party (PT).
“Pedro Segura is not, and has never been, a member of the Green Party, nor has he ever been part of our internal structure,” the official statement read. The party insisted that this collaboration was strictly limited to that year’s electoral cycle and that no contact, coordination, or communication has been maintained since.
Firm Condemnation of Violence and Crime
This clarification comes amidst rising tensions and public criticism regarding Pedro Segura Valladares’ recent actions. The Green Party used this platform to reaffirm its ethical core values:
- Rejection of Crime: The party condemns any form of glorification of criminal activity.
- Support for Justice: The organization expressed full support for competent authorities to conduct necessary investigations and determine any legal responsibilities Mr. Valladares may hold.
- Non-Violence: A firm condemnation was issued against all acts of violence that threaten national security.
Commitment to Press Freedom
