The National Union of the Cement Industry (SNIC) and the Brazilian Association of Portland Cement (ABCP) vehemently repudiate the very serious and unacceptable episodes of vandalism, destruction and violence registered in Brasília.
These are anti-democratic and illegitimate manifestations that attack the Three Powers of the Republic in an unacceptable way. The will of the majority of the Brazilian people enshrined in the ballot box must be respected within the framework established by democratic rules.
Brazil needs peace and dialogue to grow again, generate jobs, income and wealth in favor of the country's economic and social development.
