Juan Carlos Valladares, a federal deputy seen with Sergio 'Checo' Pérez in Japan, denied having more than 50 absences and assured he has attended over 90% of sessions since the legislature began. With the goal of 'avoiding the continued construction of a narrative totally detached from reality,' the deputy from the Verde Party denied having 51 absences, stating that record corresponds to occasions when he did not participate in votes within sessions that could be held on the same day. He gave as examples November 26 and December 10, 2024, December 2 of last year, and March 3 and 25 of this year, five days that had a total of 36 votes on bill proposals. Despite the controversy and false accusations on social media, Valladares took responsibility for what was his duty and assured he is focused on fulfilling duties and delivering results, without explaining why he did not vote in the sessions he attended. How many absences does Juan Carlos Valladares have in total? Counting all periods since the legislature began, Juan Carlos Valladares sums up 15 absences, six unjustified and nine justified, out of a total of 166 sessions. The deputy assured he previously informed of his absences 'in accordance with the corresponding procedures,' and also asked for the days he was absent to be deducted from his record. After clarifying his absences, he insisted his work is public, verifiable, and focused on results, so it is important for citizens to know his stance. 'I have promoted initiatives and actions on issues that directly impact the families of the district I represent: Entrepreneurship, strengthening of SMEs, public markets, electricity rates, and road safety,' wrote the deputy. Finally, he assured he respects freedom of expression and the work of the media. Juan Carlos Valladares is 'compadre' of 'Checo' Pérez, who in turn is the godfather of the child the deputy has with former Miss Universe Ximena Navarrete.
