Brazilian Socialist Party
Brazilian Socialist Party
Resurrected in 1986 from the pre-1964 Socialist Party, the left-wing
Brazilian Socialist Party (Partido Socialista Brasileiro--PSB) elected
seven representatives to the ANC (National Constituent Assembly).
It joined the Brazilian Popular Front (Frente Brasil Popular--FBP)
coalition in 1989 in support of Lula, and again in 1994. With 2.3
percent of the national vote in 1990, the PSB elected eleven deputies,
including twice governor of Pernambuco Miguel Arraes, PSB president.
The PSB, which has a more pragmatic socialism than the Workers'
Party, contributed two ministers to Franco's
cabinet. In 1994 the PSB elected two governors (including Arraes),
one senator, and fifteen federal deputies.
