history

The party was founded in June 2009, the Portuguese Constitutional Court , which is responsible for recognizing political parties in Portugal, recognized the party on July 1, 2009.

The PTP, which advertises with the slogan “Justiça, Segurança, Saúde, Emprego” (in German “Justice, Security, Health, Work”) defines itself as a party belonging to the center-left and committed to the values ​​of social democracy. She sees herself as a “more moderate Bloco de Esquerda , less grim and more balanced”. The PTP had also invited the socialist Manuel Alegre to become a member, but he refused.

The party has run in all elections in Portugal since its inception, but has almost always stayed below one percent. In the elections to the Madeira Regional Parliament, the party won 6.86 percent of the vote, winning its first three seats.

There were numerous disputes in the PTP parliamentary group in the Madeira regional parliament, especially as the parliamentary group leader and former PND supporter José Manuel Coelho was reprimanded several times. The other two MPs then excluded Coelho, and the PTP thus lost its group status in parliament. In 2013 Coelho was sentenced to 18 months in prison for character assassination of the President and Vice-President of the Madeira Region. Nevertheless, the party nominated Coelho for the 2014 European elections, but Coelho himself rejected his nomination. As a result, party chairman Amândio Madaleno ran as the top candidate.
