The Partido Socialista Brasileiro ( PSB ) is a party in Brazil with a social democratic orientation.
It emerged from the Esquerda Democrática in 1947 , but was dissolved by the Second Institutional Act of the Military Government of Brazil in 1965 (AI-2). The re-establishment took place in 1985, under the influence of the speech-democratization taking place all over Brazil. From 1947 to 1964 the party published the political newspaper Folha Socialista (Socialist Gazette).
The PSB emblem is a dove of peace. Red and yellow are the representative colors of the party.
history
The party was founded in April 1947 under the leadership of João Mangabeira , Hermes Lima and Domingo Velasco.
In the Manifesto of 1947 she turned against the personality cult around Getúlio Vargas and distinguished it from the Partido Trabalhista Brasileiro and Partido Comunista Brasileiro . She has put forward Marxist or socialist theses, e.g. B. the nationalization of the means of production, but had no anchoring in the trade union movement. It placed itself between Marxist and social democratic positions and was able to attract numerous intellectuals and students.
The party was still weak, in the 1950 presidential election its candidate João Mangabeira received less than 1% of the vote. She could only have one MP. It achieved its first success in Recife , where Pelópidas da Silveira was elected mayor as part of a left-wing coalition. In São Paulo , the PSB supported the later President Jânio Quadros . In 1960 there was a break with Quadros and the PSB supported its opponent Marechal Lott . As a result, the party radicalized and lost 9 of its 13 federal MPs. After the resignation of Jânio Quadros, the PSB supported the vice-president and successor João Goulart .
After the military coup, the PSB was dissolved. Leading politicians were jailed and lost their political rights. Many members joined one of the two permitted parties, the Movimento Democrático Brasileiro (MDB). 1979, after the political opening, some of the former members stayed in the Partido do Movimento Democrático Brasileiro , now known as the PMDB , others joined the Partido Democrático Trabalhista (PDT) and others participated in the founding of the Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT).
In 1985 the new PSB was founded on the basis of the 1947 manifesto. In the 1986 elections she was only able to win one seat. In 1989 she joined forces with the PT and the Partido Comunista do Brasil (PCdoB) to form the Frente Brasil Popular , which supported the first candidacy of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva . PSB's José Paulo Bisol was to serve as vice-president.
After Miguel Arraes joined the PMDB, the PSB became more successful. Arraes was elected governor of Pernambuco in 1994 and João Capiberibe was elected governor of Amapá . In 1998, Ronaldo Lessa was elected Governor of Alagoas . Luiza Erundina , former PT mayor of São Paulo became a prominent member .
In 2000, against the wishes of many members, the governor of Rio de Janeiro Anthony Garotinho transferred from the PDT to the PSB. In 2002 he was third as a presidential candidate, his wife Rosinha Matheus succeeded him as governor of Rio. At the federal level, the PSB was relatively successful with 5.3% and 22 MPs. 3 governors came from the PSB: Lessa re-elected, as well as Paulo Hartung in Espírito Santo and Wilma Faria in Rio Grande do Norte . In the second ballot, the party supported Lula and got the office of Science and Technology Minister ( Roberto Amaral ) in his government . In 2003 the controversial Garotinho moved with followers to the PMDB. In the 2006 elections , the PSB was even more successful, it got 6.2% and 29 MPs, and again 3 governor posts : Ciro Gomes in Ceará , Eduardo Campos in Pernambuco and Wilma Faria, who was re-elected. Paulo Hartung was re-elected as a PMDB man. The PSB informally supported Lula in her re-election.
Eduardo Campos ran for the PSB in the 2014 presidential election . He had an accident with a Cessna 560XL during the election campaign on August 13, 2014 and was killed along with the six other inmates. After the accidental death of Campos, Marina Silva ran for the PSB in his place. Silva was originally a candidate for the vice-presidency in the election. This position was then taken by Beto Albuquerque (PSB).
