Brazilian national-conservative political party
This article is about a conservative and nationalist party. For Brazilian liberal parties, see
Liberalism in Brazil.
The Social Liberal Party (Portuguese: Partido Social Liberal, PSL) was a far-right[9] political party in Brazil, that merged with the Democrats and founded the Brazil Union. Founded in 1994 as a social-liberal political party, the PSL was registered on the Superior Electoral Court in 1998.
In January 2018, former Social Christian Party politician Jair Bolsonaro joined the party and later converted it into an economically liberal, Brazilian nationalist, radically anti-communist and social conservative party. The original name remained after the ideological shift, and after Livres (the party's original main wing) left the party and formed their own political movement to continue the party's original goals. Bolsonaro became the party's nominee for the 2018 Brazilian general election and won in both rounds. Bolsonaro left the party in 2019 after disagreements with its president, Luciano Bivar, and then founded Alliance for Brazil.[10]
On 6 October 2021, the party voted to merge with the Democrats to establish the Brazil Union party.[11]
