In Palmeira, mayors align demands and project elections for AMCG, CIMSaúde and CIMSAMU

The Association of Municipalities of Campos Gerais (AMCG) held on Thursday (12), in Palmeira, another Ordinary Meeting, with the participation of mayors, deputy mayors and regional leaders. The meeting focused on the development of municipalities, the strengthening of industry, municipal demands and the continuous preparation of administrations to face climate events.

The meeting featured a diversified agenda, including the presentation of the results and future prospects of the Campos Gerais Advance and Valley Committees of the Tibagi. The initiatives were discussed as planning and integration tools, seeking to expand development opportunities for municipalities.

Another highlight was the presentation and validation of the demands of the Campos Gerais industry, raised through a joint work between AMCG, Sebrae and the Federation of State Industries of Paraná (Fiep). The discussion gave continuity to the regional articulations aimed at strengthening the productive sector, identifying needs and building strategies to enhance industrial development.

Working together by Campos Gerais

For the president of AMCG, mayor of Sengés, Gerson Nunes, the meeting reinforces the importance of the union between municipal managers to advance in guidelines that go beyond the limits of each city.

“Our commitment is to strengthen the integration between the municipalities. When we sit at the same table, share our needs and build joint referrals, we expand our ability to seek solutions and opportunities for the entire region. The AMCG has this role to represent municipalities and strengthen municipalism. I thank our host, Mayor Altamir, our entire board and the other mayors who attended the meeting,” he said.

The vice-president of AMCG and mayor of Ipiranga, Douglas Modesto, highlighted the role of the Association in representing the 19 municipalities and the importance of the meeting to discuss the next steps of regional development.

“The AMCG has represented our entire region very well. There are 19 municipalities that together demonstrate the strength of Campos Gerais. We have an organized Association, which promotes integration and gives voice to our demands. The guidelines discussed today are very important, as well as the planning of the future of the entity, with the proximity of the elections. It is a time to meet, especially after the state election process, to dialogue and think about the next steps for our region,” he said.

Host of the meeting, the treasurer of AMCG and mayor of Palmeira, Altamir Sanson, highlighted the good relationship between managers and the prospects for regional economic growth.

“The mayors have built an environment of great unity, and this facilitates the joint work to continue attracting investments and creating opportunities for our municipalities. We are in a positive moment, with good prospects for the Paraná, which has been showing growth. I believe that this scenario also represents important opportunities for the Campos Gerais.”

AMCG secretary and mayor of Carambeí, Elisangela Pedroso, emphasized the importance of meetings to share experiences and build strategies that benefit Campos Gerais.

“The AMCG meetings are very important spaces for debate for regional growth. Here, we bring our demands, difficulties and problems, but we also share ideas and experiences. We think of a collective development, because when a municipality grows and prospers, it also contributes to the strengthening of the entire region. For this reason, these moments of dialogue and participation among the mayors are fundamental,” he stressed.

Permanent dialogue with Defesa Civil

The meeting also opened space for a dialogue with Defesa Civil, with the participation of 2nd Lieutenant Edson Roque, head of the Regional Core of Defesa Civil in Ponta Grossa. The conversation focused on the impacts of the El Niño phenomenon on the Campos Gerais and the importance of the continuous preparation of municipal administrations in the face of extreme weather events.

During the presentation, the representative of Defesa Civil highlighted the monitoring of climatic conditions since the beginning of the year and the need to intensify preventive actions, especially in the maintenance of structures and works that contribute to the drainage of rainwater.

“We have been monitoring the situation of El Niño since March and April, when the phenomenon was still in its early stages. At the moment, we have already advanced with the involvement of the municipalities in the maintenance of their structures and works, to ensure better conditions of water flow during rainy periods. We have observed a very large recurrence of weather events, often reaching the same municipalities at short intervals, which makes recovery difficult. Therefore, we continue to work with information and early warnings, in partnership with the city halls, to guide the population about the risks and the importance of seeking safe places and municipal shelters when necessary,” explained Lieutenant Roque.

Municipal Demands and Agriculture

Another moment of the meeting was destined for the demonstration of the mayors, who were able to present the main demands of their municipalities and share the challenges faced by the administrations. Strengthening the AMCG as a space for articulation and representation of regional interests is one of the priorities of the current board.

The invitation to the Regional Seminar on Agriculture, scheduled for December 11, in Ortigueira, was also presented to the mayors, broadening the dialogue on the strengthening of the agricultural sector and the opportunities for the municipalities of Campos Gerais. The agenda was conducted by representatives of the Institute of Rural Development of Paraná (IDR-PR).
