Brazilian politician (born 1964)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Antonio Oliverio García de Almeida (born 3 March 1964)[1] is a Brazilian politician who served as governor of the state of Roraima from 2019 to 2026.[2] He is member of the Progressive Party.[3] A nationalist who opposes immigration, Denarium has advocated for closing Brazil's border with Venezuela in response to the Venezuelan refugee crisis. The inflow of migrants means that Roraima has a disproportionately higher Venezuelan Brazilian population compared to the rest of Brazil.[4]
