Jose Ribamar Ferreira de Araújo Costa known as Jose Sarney (born the April 24th 1930 with Pinheiro, Maranhão, Brazil) was the president of the federative Republic of Brazil starting from the March 15th 1985 until the March 15th 1990.

Known under the name of Jose Sarney, it becomes president after the president elected Tancredo Neves was falls ill (it was operated urgently the March 14th 1985, a few hours before assuming his station, but only in April 1985 of the complications of its disease died). In the beginning, Sarney was to be the vice-president of the country, which returned to the democracy for the first time since 1964 and the beginning of the military regime. To avoid one vacancy of the presidential station, envisaged by the Constitution, Sarney oath the March 15th lends, in optics to ensure what one then thinks of being approximately a one week interim. The death of Firns will decide some differently. The three main issues of Brazil are then urban poverty, a raised inflation, and an enormous foreign debt.

Senator, it held the position of president of the Brazilian senate of February 2003 with 2005.
