Councilwoman Mari Leite, who was present at the meeting, praised the organization and commitment of the team. “I found these structured concepts to be very organized, with several capable professionals, and I realized that it is a very united department that works for love. They are debunking a lot of the misinformation that we are seeing in the media, which is not true, and they are working hard in this first four-month period of activities,” she highlighted.
Another councilman who participated in the meeting was Irineu Cruz. He highlighted the transparency of the work. “I was a councilman in the previous administration and, most of the time, I did not have access to city hall data. Here, everything was shown, including the reports and numbers. We left here with the truth, because we can do nothing against the truth, everything for the truth. This visit was of utmost importance,” he stated.
Councilman Halleson Ricardo Stieglitz highlighted the importance of the meeting to understand the work of the Inclusion Department. “This was an opportunity for the councilmen to understand, firstly, what the work of the Inclusion Department is, what is being developed here, and also how we can contribute to this work that is so important for Paranaguá”, he concluded.
