Vitorino Francisco da Rocha e Silva (born on 19 April 1971), popularly known as Tino de Rans, is a Portuguese paver, television personality and politician.
He became famous nationwide in February 1999, when he delivered an enthusiastic speech during the 11th National Congress of the Socialist Party that drew applause and laughter from the audience at the Coliseu dos Recreios; the speech ended with Silva hugging the party's secretary-general and incumbent Prime Minister António Guterres.
He enjoyed some fame as a media personality; in 2001 he released a music album (Tinomania, which included the popular hit "Pão Pão, Fiambre Fiambre"), and participated in SIC entertainment show Noites Marcianas[2] and, in 2005, was a contestant in TVI reality show Quinta das Celebridades.
The party was on the ballot for the first time in that year's legislative election, but failed to secure any seats in the Assembly of the Republic, with only 0.67% of the vote.
[6] Silva gained notoriety for confronting the far-right candidate and Chega leader, André Ventura.
