Dante de Oliveira

As the two-party system in the military dictatorship ended and the redemocratization process began, Oliveira officially affiliated himself with the newly renamed PMDB, being elected as a federal deputy in 1982.[6] Fearful of what was occurring in Congress, then leader of the military dictatorship João Figueiredo strongly pressured members of the dictatorship-aligned PDS to vote down the measure.[7] Despite this, the central faction of the movement began to take to the streets, with an IBOPE poll taken on the eve of the eventual vote showing that 84% of those questioned approved of the amendment.His political reputation was damaged when it was alleged that João Arcanjo Ribeiro, who was involved with organized crime in Cuiabá, helped fund his reelection campaign in 1998.[10] While tentatively planning to run once more as a federal deputy, Oliveira died on 6 July 2006 in Cuiabá due to pneumonia that was exacerbated by complications from diabetes.
