For António Pina, «continuing ahead of the destinations of Olhão continues to be a great challenge. Olhão is a council of enormous potential and the people of Olhão are a demanding people, but above all deserving of what, together, has been achieved, with work, sacrifice and the pride of never turning their face to the fight».
“It is my wish to continue to honor the support and trust we have had from the people of Olho and contribute to the development of our land. The work is in sight, we must look ahead and, with the contribution and participation of everyone, continue to consolidate this positive transformation that has been raising the image of Olhão, Quelfes, Moncarapacho, Fuzeta and Pechão, as well as the conditions of life of our fellow citizens.
