Progressistas , PP for short , is the name of a political party in Brazil . Until 2017 it was called Partido Progressista ( German : "Progress Party" / "Progressive Party"). Despite the name, she takes conservative positions. The federal chairman is Ciro Nogueira .
The former Federal President (Presidente Nacional) Pedro Corrêa was sentenced to 20 years in prison for corruption. A well-known member was also the Secretary General (Secretário Geral) Benedito Domingos . Member Ana Amélia Lemos ran in the 2018 presidential election as a candidate for the post of Vice-President of Geraldo Alckmin of the Partido da Social Democracia Brasileira (PSDB). For this election, the PP entered an electoral coalition with the PSDB and other parties.
The party was created in 1995 with the name Partido Progressista Brasileiro through the merger of the PPR and the former PP. On April 4, 2003, the name was changed to Partido Progressista.
Numerous federal MPs were involved in the Lava Jato scandal over the Petrobras group , which caused the party to suffer a fall in popularity. In the 2018 election , she finally lost her leadership position within the Brazilian Conservatives. In the first round of Brazil's 2018 elections, Gladson Cameli was elected Acre's 18th governor .
President Jair Bolsonaro was a member of the party from 1995 to 2003.
