Mendes Bota chooses his fights carefully. The current line of enquiry for the PSD MP for Faro has resulted in questions to the government over a large land dispute in the municipality of Loulé.
Bota has looked at the facts surrounding the dispute over the possession of land in the parishes of Querença and Salir where dozens of people are claiming to own land that a Finnish development company claims as its own and where it has started to develop commercial olive groves in a move that the company claims is in accord with all current legislation.
