The '''Progressive Party''' ('''PP''', ''Partido Progressista'' in portuguese) is a [[brazil]]ian ideologically [[conservative]] and [[right-wing]] party. Despite its platform being conservative (both in [[free market|the fiscal field]] as in [[conservatism|the social field]]), its politicians are [[centrism|centrist]] and has some [[liberal|moderate leftists]]. From the time that the party was still called ''Social Democratic Party'', PP has as one of its leaders the [[communist]] politician [[Paulo Maluf]], wanted by [[Interpol]] for corruption and other fiscal crimes<ref>[http://www.interpol.int/Wanted-Persons/(wanted_id)/2009-13608 Wanted. MALUF, Paulo] - [[Interpol]]</ref>.
The party grew out of the [[National Renewal Alliance]] (''Aliança Renovadora Nacional'', ARENA), the party that ruled [[Brazil]] during the [[anti-communist]] [[military]] regime of [[neo-conservative]] orientation and thus was created with a conservative platform and conservative politicians former dissidents from ARENA. However, with the arrival of [[Paulo Maluf]] in the party, which made him only to compete for the presidency, but ended up not disaffiliate himself of the party after suffering a crushing defeat, the party was turning more and more to the [[left]].
During the [[Marxist]] government of President [[Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva]], the PP was an opposition party, along with fellow conservative [[Democrats (Brazil)|Democrats]] and the [[socialist]]s [[PSDB]] and [[PPS]]. However, at the end of Lula's term, the politician Ciro Nogueira went on to chair the party, and put him in the allied base of the [[Marxist]] government of Lula's successor, [[Dilma Rousseff]]. This act proves undemocratic since the vast majority of the parliamentary party rejects the government, as seen in a video of [[2014]] in a [[conservative]] parliamentary [[Jair Bolsonaro]] speech at the party national convention.
Despite all this, the PP is, along with the [[Democrats (Brazil)|Democrats]] and the [[Social Christian Party]], one of the parties with the most [[conservative]] and [[libertarian]] views in [[Brazil]], and one of the few parties where the [[right]] has voice and name. A great example is the aforementioned [[Jair Bolsonaro]], the most [[right-wing]] politician on the brazilian political spectrum. Vehemently attacked by the [[liberal media|media]], Bolsonaro was labeled by the [[liberal media]] as "[[Nazi]]", "[[Fascist]]", "[[Racist]]", "[[Homophobic]]", "[[Sexist]]" and "[[white supremacist]]". But with the revival of the Brazilian right, these accusations were refuted.
Besides Bolsonaro, the [[south]]ern politician Marcel van Hattem has also been fiercely attacked by the [[liberal media]].
