It is one of the few political parties in Brazil to claim to be [[Right-wing politics|right-wing]]. NOVO's aim is to tap into the [[PSDB]] electorate. Its founding president is banker [[João Amoêdo]], who was expelled from the party for his endorsement to the Worker's Party candidate for the presidency, [[Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva|Lula]], during the [[2022 Brazilian general election]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Sapio |first=Marcello |date=2023-02-13 |title=Expulso do partido, João Amoêdo "parabeniza" Novo em aniversário de 12 anos |url=https://www.cnnbrasil.com.br/politica/expulso-do-partido-joao-amoedo-parabeniza-novo-em-aniversario-de-12-anos/ |access-date=2024-02-23 |website=CNN Brasil}}</ref> The party positions itself as [[Classical liberalism|classical liberal]].<ref name=":0" />

The party's proposals include reforming the ways parties are allowed to obtain funding and ending [[compulsory voting]], and defending private financing of campaigns.<ref>{{cite web |date=28 September 2015 |title=Partido Novo quer privatizar o Brasil; veja entrevista |url=https://exame.abril.com.br/brasil/partido-novo-quer-privatizar-o-brasil-veja-entrevista/ |access-date=27 January 2019 |website=EXAME}}</ref>


The party opposes extensive regulation in many aspects of Brazilian society and their members believe the central bank should be independent from the state.<ref>[http://www.redebrasilatual.com.br/politica/2015/09/partido-novo-assume-eleitorado-de-direita-e-rede-de-marina-e-o-34deg-partido-no-pais-7335.html Partido Novo assume eleitorado de direita e Rede, de Marina, é a 34ª legenda no país] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160128132512/http://www.redebrasilatual.com.br/politica/2015/09/partido-novo-assume-eleitorado-de-direita-e-rede-de-marina-e-o-34deg-partido-no-pais-7335.html|date=28 January 2016}} by Prof. Maria do Socorro Sousa Braga, of [[Federal University of São Carlos|Ufscar]] (Citation: "''The Novo Party is a legend that not only represents the right as does not hide its position. While other conservative associations never clearly assume the political spectrum where they operate, positioning itself as one ashamed right, the NOVO does not deny what it is''")</ref>
== Policy proposals ==
The party's proposals include reforming the ways parties are allowed to obtain funding and ending [[compulsory voting]], and defending private financing of campaigns.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://exame.abril.com.br/brasil/partido-novo-quer-privatizar-o-brasil-veja-entrevista/|title=Partido Novo quer privatizar o Brasil; veja entrevista|date=28 September 2015|website=EXAME|access-date=27 January 2019}}</ref>


== History ==
The party aims for the [[privatization]] of public enterprises like [[Petrobras]] and [[Banco do Brasil]]<ref>[http://opiniaoenoticia.com.br/brasil/partido-novo-a-ultradireita-consegue-voz/ Partido novo: a ultradireita consegue voz] by Leandro Mazzini, published at " Opinião e Notícia" (2014)</ref> although the party supports welfare programs like [[Bolsa Família]]. The party defends the Vouchers policy to improve the inequality between public and private education. In short, he argues that the State should focus on the areas of essential services: education, health and security.
Formally registered as a political party in 2015, NOVO won eight deputies in the [[2018 Brazilian general election|2018 elections]] and had one of its own, [[Romeu Zema]], elected governor of [[Minas Gerais]], Brazil's second most populous state. Its presidential candidate, João Amoêdo, obtained 2.5% of the vote.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |last=Neiva |first=Lucas |date=2023-08-06 |title=Partido Novo se tornou satélite do PL, critica João Amoêdo |url=https://congressoemfoco.uol.com.br/area/pais/partido-novo-se-tornou-satelite-do-pl-critica-joao-amoedo/ |access-date= |website=Congresso em Foco |language=pt-BR}}</ref>


The following years were marked by internal conflicts, which weakened Amoêdo's position, and by a rapprochement with the far-right. Amoêdo was finally expelled from the party in 2022 for his endorsment of the Worker's Party candidate for the presidency, [[Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva|Lula]]<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-10-27 |title=Partido Novo suspende filiação de João Amoêdo após ele apoiar Lula no 2º turno {{!}} São Paulo |url=https://g1.globo.com/sp/sao-paulo/noticia/2022/10/27/partido-novo-suspende-joao-amoedo.ghtml |access-date=2024-11-19 |website=G1 |language=pt-br}}</ref>. For Amoêdo, NOVO had become a "satellite of the [[Liberal Party (Brazil, 2006)|Liberal Party]]".<ref name=":1" />
The party opposes extensive regulation in many aspects of Brazilian society and their members believe the central bank should be independent from the state.<ref>[http://www.redebrasilatual.com.br/politica/2015/09/partido-novo-assume-eleitorado-de-direita-e-rede-de-marina-e-o-34deg-partido-no-pais-7335.html Partido Novo assume eleitorado de direita e Rede, de Marina, é a 34ª legenda no país] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160128132512/http://www.redebrasilatual.com.br/politica/2015/09/partido-novo-assume-eleitorado-de-direita-e-rede-de-marina-e-o-34deg-partido-no-pais-7335.html |date=28 January 2016 }} by Prof. Maria do Socorro Sousa Braga, of [[Federal University of São Carlos|Ufscar]] (Citation: "''The Novo Party is a legend that not only represents the right as does not hide its position. While other conservative associations never clearly assume the political spectrum where they operate, positioning itself as one ashamed right, the NOVO does not deny what it is''")</ref>


NOVO won only 0.47% of the vote in the [[2022 Brazilian general election|2022 presidential election]] and three deputies in the parliamentary elections, but managed to get Romeu Zema re-elected governor of Minas Gerais. Senator [[Eduardo Girão]], perceived as one of the most conservative parliamentarians and close to former President Bolsonaro, decided to join the party.<ref name=":1" />
The program of the party focuses on the defense of a democratic state which preserves [[Civil liberties]], incentivizes [[Entrepreneurship]] and the participation of the citizen on the political life. The main objective of the party, according to the founders, is to secure economic liberty, as well as "ending privileges" instead of "protecting an elite".

The New Party (Portuguese: Partido Novo, stylised NOVO) is a classical liberal, libertarian party in Brazil founded on 12 February 2011.

The party was registered on 23 July 2014, supported by the signatures of 493,316 citizens. Its creation was approved on 15 September 2015.[11] The party requested to use the number "30" for election identification. It is ideologically aligned with classical liberalism.[12]

Ideology

[edit]

The New Party advocates a free market, minimal government and low taxes. It is hostile to social rights such as the Brazilian Labor Code (CLT).[13][14] The party aims for the privatization of public enterprises like Petrobras and Banco do Brasil.[15][16]

It does not take any stance on social issues like abortion and legalization of drugs. The party is pro-gun rights and supports same sex marriage.[17][18]

It is one of the few political parties in Brazil to claim to be right-wing. NOVO's aim is to tap into the PSDB electorate. Its founding president is banker João Amoêdo, who was expelled from the party for his endorsement to the Worker's Party candidate for the presidency, Lula, during the 2022 Brazilian general election.[19] The party positions itself as classical liberal.[13]

The party's proposals include reforming the ways parties are allowed to obtain funding and ending compulsory voting, and defending private financing of campaigns.[20]

The party opposes extensive regulation in many aspects of Brazilian society and their members believe the central bank should be independent from the state.[21]

History

[edit]

Formally registered as a political party in 2015, NOVO won eight deputies in the 2018 elections and had one of its own, Romeu Zema, elected governor of Minas Gerais, Brazil's second most populous state. Its presidential candidate, João Amoêdo, obtained 2.5% of the vote.[22]

The following years were marked by internal conflicts, which weakened Amoêdo's position, and by a rapprochement with the far-right. Amoêdo was finally expelled from the party in 2022 for his endorsment of the Worker's Party candidate for the presidency, Lula[23]. For Amoêdo, NOVO had become a "satellite of the Liberal Party".[22]

NOVO won only 0.47% of the vote in the 2022 presidential election and three deputies in the parliamentary elections, but managed to get Romeu Zema re-elected governor of Minas Gerais. Senator Eduardo Girão, perceived as one of the most conservative parliamentarians and close to former President Bolsonaro, decided to join the party.[22]
