Hi Evo,

Neither the grammar nor the meaning is clear.

Do you mean something like, "His decision to leave here did/does not mean that he wishes/wished to avoid the problem." ?

There are many different ways to express this, depending on what meaning you wish to convey.

"His decision to leave here should not be taken to mean that he was/is avoiding the problem."
