His professional path was characterized by “a constant willingness to collaborate, share knowledge, and contribute to constructive solutions, always with an attitude of dialogue, consideration, and a sense of responsibility.”
Besides his professional qualities, Bolieiro remarked that “a memory remains of a pleasant, loyal colleague genuinely committed to the common good.”
“May the example and legacy of Rogério Moitoso endure in the memory of all who had the privilege of knowing him,” concluded the Azorean executive president.
