Geraldo Alckmin, Brazil's acting president, stated that the federal government is committed to finding a solution for the Avibras crisis, which has affected the defense company undergoing judicial recovery.
In a public statement made during a mass in Aparecida, São Paulo, Geraldo Alckmin, the acting president and Minister of Development, Industry, Commerce, and Services of Brazil, highlighted the federal government's dedication to resolving the ongoing crisis at Avibras, a defense sector company currently in judicial recovery. He acknowledged that the company, which has been unable to pay salaries for three years, is privately owned and emphasized the government's role in facilitating support for the company's revival.
Alckmin explained that the government's efforts are focused on securing an investor that can enable Avibras to resume its operations. He stressed the seriousness of the situation, mentioning that the company has faced significant challenges, including layoffs and financial instability, which have impacted its workforce. This revitalization effort is crucial not only for the company itself but also for the economic stability of the region, given Avibras's location in São José dos Campos in the Vale do Paraíba.
Additionally, while discussing the crisis, Alckmin refrained from delving into political matters concerning the upcoming 2026 elections. Instead, he remained focused on the immediate issues at hand, showcasing the government's priority on economic recovery and support for key industries in Brazil. The handling of the Avibras situation reflects broader themes of industrial recovery and workforce protection during challenging economic times.
