Armando de Sales Oliveira

Armando de Sales Oliveira was a Brazilian politician and governor of São Paulo. He was born in São Paulo on 24 December 1887. He was a candidate for the planned election of 1938, though it was never carried out due to the 1937 Brazilian coup d'état. He was later exiled to France in November 1938, and moved to the United States in April 1939. During this time, he published several manifestos against the Estado Novo regime. He moved to Argentina in 1943 and moved back to Brazil when he was granted amnesty by the Brazilian Government in 1945. He was a member of the National Democratic Union for a short time before he died later that year on 17 May in São Paulo.
