Amerigo C.M. Thodé (born 27 July 1950) is a Curaçaoan politician of the Movement for the Future of Curaçao (MFK). He serves as President of the Estates of Curaçao since 24 March 2017. He previously served as President between November and December 2012.
In the 2000s Thodé served as secretary-general of the Party Workers' Liberation Front 30 May (FOL). He later switched to Movement for the Future of Curaçao. At the first meeting of the Estates of Curaçao on 10 October 2010 Thodé was elected Vice President. On 2 November 2012 Thodé was elected President of the Estates. After a new government coalition did not include Thodé's MFK he resigned as President of the Estates on 6 December 2012.
In January 2016 Thodé was convicted of leaking confidential information from a meeting from the College of Financial Oversight. He subsequently shared this information on a radio show and in an MFK press conference. Thodé was sentenced to a conditional fine of 1400 Netherlands Antillean guilder. An appeal verdict in December 2016 resulted in the same sentence.
For the 2016 elections Thodé held the fifth position on the MFK list. As the MFK obtained four seats he did not enter the Estates.
When Gilmar Pisas became Prime Minister in March 2017 Thodé returned to the Estates on 24 March and once more became President.
