The Republicanos ( REP ), until 2019 Partido Republicano Brasileiro ( PRB , German  Brazilian Republican Party ), are a political party in Brazil . The party is currently represented by a senator in the Brazilian Senate .

The Republicanos are on the right-hand side of the political spectrum. At the time of its registration in 2005 it could be described as a conservative-liberal and Christian Democratic party. Due to its connection with the successful neo-charismatic Pentecostal church Igreja Universal do Reino de Deus (IURD), however, it increasingly took on evangelical-religious traits. She is now striving for a political “re-Christianization of Brazil in the sense of a rigid and apocalyptically determined ethic”. According to various authors, the party is in fact controlled by the influential IURD Bishop Edir Macedo and his family, who also runs the Rede Record television channel and called for the introduction of a Christian state of God ( Dominionism ). The top politician of the Republicanos, Marcelo Crivella, city prefect of Rio de Janeiro since 2017, is Macedo's nephew.
