On 27 October 1965, President [[Humberto de Alencar Castelo Branco]] created the Institutional Act Number 2, which extinguished the [[multiparty]] system and reduced the Brazilian political to two parties, one to give support to the current government (ARENA) and the other to house the [[opposition]] ([[Brazilian Democratic Movement]], current PMDB).
The '''National Renewal Alliance''' (in portuguese: ''Aliança Renovadora Nacional'', '''ARENA''') was a [[political party]] of [[neo-conservative]] orientation that existed during the [[two-party]] system of the [[Brazilian military regime]]. On 27 October 1965, President [[Humberto de Alencar Castelo Branco]] created the Institutional Act Number 2, which extinguished the [[multiparty]] system and reduced the Brazilian political to two parties, one to give support to the current government (ARENA) and the other to house the [[opposition]] ([[Brazilian Democratic Movement]], current PMDB).
With the return of [[multiparty]] system, the ARENA changed its name to [[Social Democratic Party]] (PDS), during the rule of the last President of the regime, [[Joao Figueiredo]]. It was also created within the party, the [[Liberal Front]], a wing which claimed [[limited government]] and [[economic freedom]]. After Figueiredo government, the wing became the [[Liberal Front Party]], current [[Democrats (Brazil)|Democrats]]. In 1993, the PDS merged with the [[Christian Democratic Party]] (PDC) to form the [[Progressive Reform Party]] (PPR). In the same year, in a merger of other smaller labels, the [[Progressive Party]] was created. In 1995, PPR merged the PP and created the [[Brazilian Progressive Party]], which supported the [[libertarian]] reforms proposed by the then [[Social Democrat]] President [[Fernando Henrique Cardoso]].
After the end of the Cardoso administration, the party changed its name to [[Progressive Party (Brazil)|Progressive Party]], a name that remains to this day.
