Brazilian Progressive Party

Progressive Party
The Progressive Party (Partido Progressista--PP) grew out of the
PTR (Workers' Renewal Party). In 1990 the PTR and the Social Workers'
Party (Partido Social Trabalhista--PST) had elected just two federal
deputies each. The new Progressive Party had thirty-seven deputies
in 1993, and by 1994 had grown to forty-five, the fifth largest
delegation in the Chamber of Deputies. In 1995 the Progressive Party
became leaderless, with no clear political strategy. Thus, it merged
with the PPR (Progressive Renewal Party) to form the PPB (Brazilian
Progressive Party).
