Partido Republicano Português
Partido Republicano Português (Portuguese Republican Party, PRP ) was a Portuguese party that had its roots in the old Republican Party of the constitutional monarchy and largely dominated the country's political life during the first Portuguese Republic from 1910 to 1926. During the First Republic, representatives of their various divisions and factions provided two presidents and several heads of government.
In February 1912, as a result of a lengthy process of splitting up the traditional Portuguese Republican Party (PRP), the Evolutionist Republican Party ( António José de Almeida ), which represented liberal, center-right positions, and the smaller, more conservative Unionist Party (Partido Unionista) ( Brito Camacho ).
The undisputed strongest faction of the old PRP was the left-liberal Democratic Party ( Afonso Augusto da Costa ), a center-left party that took over almost all of the old party structures of the PRP and claimed for itself the traditional name of the Portuguese Republican Party, as it did was never officially dissolved.
The Democratic Party was the dominant political force of the First Republic in Portugal.
