Partido Social Democrático (1945)
The Partido Social Democrático (PSD) was a Brazilian political party founded on July 17, 1945 and extinguished on October 27, 1965 by the Second Institutional Act of the Brazilian Military Government of 1965 (AI-2). It belongs to the political center and was populist .
It was founded under the auspices of Getúlio Vargas by federal interveners appointed during the time of the Estado Novo , including Benedito Valadares in Minas Gerais , Fernando de Sousa Costa in São Paulo, Admiral Ernâni do Amaral Peixoto in Rio de Janeiro and Agamenon Magalhães in Pernambuco .
Between 1945 and 1964, together with the Workers' Party Partido Trabalhista Brasileiro (PTB), which was also founded in 1945, it formed the pro-getulism bloc of Brazilian politics in contrast to the antigetulist União Democrática Nacional (UDN). During its existence it was the majority party in the Chamber of Deputies of Brazil and in the Bundessenat Filinto Müller made it their party leader in the National Congress in 1961. The party spawned two presidents of the republic: Eurico Gaspar Dutra in 1945 and Juscelino Kubitschek in 1955.
After the PSD was extinguished, its members were divided: some went to the Movimento Democrático Brasileiro of 1966, the only opposition party to the dictatorship that was allowed after the introduction of non-partisanship with AI-2, and others joined the Aliança Renovadora Nacional (ARENA) , the party that supported the regime established in 1964. In both the former members organized themselves as separate wings.
Two more parties with the same name were later founded: the Partido Social Democrático (1987) and the Partido Social Democrático (2011) .
