The Liberal Party (Portuguese: Partido Liberal, PL) is a Brazilian conservative political party. From its foundation until 2019, it was called the Party of the Republic (Portuguese: Partido da República, PR).
The Liberal Party belongs to Centrão, an informal group of political parties that monetized their support in exchange for important positions for their members or subsidies for the electoral strongholds of their elected officials.
Notable PL members include Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, Tiririca, Romário, Marco Feliciano, Flávia Arruda, Valdemar Costa Neto, and Flávio Bolsonaro.
History
Party of the Republic was founded on 26 October 2006, by the merger of the old Liberal Party and the Party of the Reconstruction of the National Order (Partido da Reedificação da Ordem Nacional, PRONA).
At the 2010 elections, PL focused on the parliamentary elections; it won 41 of the 513 seats in the Chamber of Deputies and 4 of the 81 Senate seats.
Sergio Victor Tamer, the PR's founder, was president from 2006-2014. Alfredo Nascimento succeeded Tamer as president of the PR until April 2016, when he resigned due to party leadership not supporting the impeachment of Dilma Rousseff. However, 26 of the PR's MPs did vote for her impeachment.[citation needed]
On 7 May 2019, the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) voted to approve a motion of the party to change its name back to Liberal Party (PL).[18]
On 30 November 2021, President of Brazil Jair Bolsonaro and his son Senator Flávio Bolsonaro joined the PL in preparation for the 2022 Brazilian general election (as presidential candidates must be affiliated with a political party). He had previously considered returning to the Progressistas, which he had been a member of from 1995–2003 and 2005–2016.
