The Partido Social Liberal (PSL), German social liberal party , is a right-wing party in Brazil . In the 2018 presidential election in Brazil , candidate Jair Bolsonaro won 46.3% of the valid votes in the first round.
history
The party was founded in 1994, and in 1998 it was officially registered by the Tribunal Superior Eleitoral (TSE). It was initially oriented towards the bourgeois-centrist. From its inception until 2018, the businessman and former president of Sport Recife Luciano Bivar was party leader of the PSL. During this time, she never got more than 0.2% of the national vote and a seat in the Chamber of Deputies . During the 2007-2011 legislative period, she was not represented in parliament at all. In 2016 the internal party group Livres was founded , which mainly included younger members who wanted to give the party a decidedly liberal and libertarian orientation (individual freedoms, free market, legalization of cannabis, same-sex marriage). These included B. the journalist Leandro Narloch and the political scientist Fábio Ostermann.
At the invitation of party founder Luciano Bivar, right-wing populist Jair Bolsonaro and his supporters joined the PSL from the Partido Social Cristão in January 2018 . He was elected party leader and presidential candidate that same year. As a result, the party shifted to the far right. The Livres left the PSL immediately after Bolsonaro joined. In the meantime, the content and personnel of the party have been tailored entirely to the top candidate Bolsonaro and his right-wing populist positions. In the parliamentary elections in October 2018 , the PSL became the party with the strongest vote with 11.7 percent; in the Chamber of Deputies it has since made up the second-largest parliamentary group behind the left-wing PT with 52 representatives . It is represented by four members in the Senate. Jair Bolsonaro won the first round of the presidential election, which took place at the same time, with 46 percent. On October 28, 2018, Bolsonaro was elected President of Brazil in the second round of the presidential election.
On November 12, 2019, Bolsonaro broke away from the PSL and announced the creation of a new organization, Aliança pelo Brasil , which led to a split within the PSL. In April 2020, the PSL only had two senators and 41 federal deputies.
Content-related positions
The orientation of the PSL is socio-politically conservative and economically liberal .
She calls for a consistent withdrawal of the state from economic life with privatizations in the economy, education and the health system. The party advocates the right to free arms possession , which is seen as the answer to the rampant crime in the country. In contrast to this, the security policy options for the police and the military are to be expanded, who are supposed to take a "hard hand" against drugs and violence, whereby torture and "legal executions" by the police in anti-drug raids in the favelas are also to be allowed .
National parks and protected areas for indigenous peoples should be reduced in size, regardless of the interests of the residents, in order to make space for more arable land. The party rejects abortion and the recognition of same-sex partnerships. In this respect it is close to the positions of the evangelical- fundamentalist churches.
The party uses the slogan Brasil acima de tudo, Deus acima de todos , in German Brazil over everything, God over all .
