“The IAPC supports and encourages democracy around the world. We must continue to be vigilant in protecting democratic values against threats from those that try and thwart and subvert the will of the people.”

The International Association of Political Consultants (IAPC) released the following statement regarding events that took place in Brazil over the weekend:

“The recent events that saw riots and an attempt to seize the Brazilian Congress is an affront to the democratic process,” said Matt Klink, President of the IAPC. “While peaceful protest is an acceptable form of registering one’s point of view, violence has no place in a democracy.”

“Brazil democratically elected a new government on October 30th that should be accepted. As political consultants, we work to ensure that the democratic process is followed and not subject to threats, intimidation, or violence.”

“As one of the largest democracies in the world, Brazil is recognized for its institutions and democratic rule of law. The recent election was open, fair, and universal, a hallmark of a democratic country.”

 

Established in 1968, The International Association of Political Consultants is committed to fostering democracy and the democratic process throughout the world. Members span a variety of political backgrounds and activities fostering the growing and diverse profession of political consulting as well as the practical aspects of democratic elections.
