ACIPG signs manifesto for reconciliation and advocates pact against polarization in Brazil

ACIPG signs a national manifesto that proposes to overcome political polarization and build a pact based on work, freedom, responsibility and the strengthening of democratic institutions. The Commercial, Industrial and Business Association of Ponta Grossa is part of the group of signatories of the open letter “For reconciliation, for freedom and for a Brazil governed for all”, published by Rede Pauta Brasil.

The initiative is led by the Confederation of Commercial and Business Associations of Brazil (CACB). In addition to adhering to the document, ACIPG declared support for the proposal and invites associates, entrepreneurs and residents of Ponta Grossa and Campos Gerais to know and sign the manifesto.

Membership can be made by individuals or companies, using CPF or CNPJ, through the website of Rede Pauta Brasil. The platform also displays the names of the persons and entities that authorized the public disclosure of the participation.

Manifesto calls for overcoming polarization

The publication of the letter takes place in the middle of the electoral period and, despite the political context, the document does not mention candidates or parties.

The manifesto argues that the polarization of recent years has provoked divisions among family, friends and communities without, according to its authors, bringing concrete solutions to problems such as job generation, cost of food, quality of education and public security.

The proposal is to replace the logic of confrontation with an agenda that puts economic, social and institutional issues at the center of the national debate.

People who work, undertake, study, support their families and pay taxes need to find an environment of stability, legal certainty and clear rules.

Work and Entrepreneurship

One of the main points defended by the letter is the appreciation of workers, traders, rural producers, liberal professionals and entrepreneurs as responsible for the generation of wealth in the country.

The manifesto also advocates freedom to work, undertake, express and make individual choices, as well as measures that reduce obstacles faced mainly by small businesses.

The defense of entrepreneurship is directly related to the profile of the entities involved. The CACB brings together approximately 2,300 trade and business associations in different Brazilian regions.

In Ponta Grossa, the agenda also relates to the performance of ACIPG, an entity that completes 104 years in 2026 and brings together about 2,500 associates, with a strong presence of micro and small companies.

Charter Defends Independence Between the Powers

Another axis of the manifesto involves the functioning of Brazilian institutions. The document maintains that the Executive, Legislative and Judiciary must exercise their functions independently and within the limits established by the Constitution.

In the evaluation presented by the letter, the reconstruction of the trust of the population passes by respecting the attributions of each Power, by institutional dialogue and by prioritizing the collective interest.

The text also argues that the next Brazilian government is not built on a logic of dispute between groups, but has the capacity to govern for different regions, economic sectors and social classes.

Among the principles presented are freedom, responsibility, work, institutional security and special attention to the most vulnerable population.

ACIPG invites Ponta Grossa community

By adhering to the manifesto, ACIPG extends the invitation for entrepreneurs, associates and other residents of Ponta Grossa and the region to also participate in the mobilization.

The letter presents as objective a country where young people have employment opportunities, families find security, workers perceive return by their own effort and political divergences do not cause ruptures in personal relations.

The document ends by defending a national administration aimed at the entire population: “Brazil is for everyone. And it will be governed by everyone.”
