Ferreira noted that the association is not only presenting problems but also viable solutions, indicating that ANAMM has developed proposals aimed at fostering improvements. He stated, “We didn’t bring a portfolio of concerns, we brought a portfolio of solutions.”

Moreover, Ferreira announced the establishment of a National Development Company intended to support municipal authorities by providing shared equipment, crucial for addressing local challenges. However, details on the operational aspects of this new company remain undisclosed.

In conclusion, João Ferreira, the ANAMM chairperson, advocates for a collaborative approach between municipalities and the central government to effectively tackle community issues.
