Antonio Oliverio García de Almeida (born 3 March 1964)[1] is a Brazilian politician. He is the governor of the state of Roraima and member of the Progressive Party.[2] 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.[3]
Denarium divested himself from PSL on 28 June 2020.[4] On August 14, 2023, Denarium was revoked by the Brazilian Election Justice of Roraima for irregular distribution of food baskets during the 2022 elections.[5][6]
