However, since 2015, taking advantage of the fact of the party being small and insignificant, the [[libertarian]] internal tendency ''LIVRES'' (in english: ''FREE'') decided to make an ideological reformulation in the party, leading the party to a more [[right-wing]] [[liberalism]], keeping the moderate social ideas, but turning the party [[fiscal conservatism|fiscally conservative]] and advocate of [[limited government]]<ref>[http://rodrigoconstantino.com/artigos/psl-se-renova-e-foca-mais-no-liberal-da-sigla-ou-its-happening/ PSL is renewed and more focused on the "Liberal" of Acronym]</ref>.

The party doesn't qualify as a [[right-wing]] party, as it believes that the term "[[right-wing]]" is closely associated to [[social conservatism|social conservative]]s, which the party opposes. However, recognizes [[economic freedom]] as a right-wing issue and says that in the eyes of a [[socialist]] or [[liberal]], they're on the [[right]]. In the eyes of a [[conservative]], they're on the [[left]]. Despite the ideological makeover, they continue defining themselves as "[[liberal|liberal socials]]", and say they advocate a [[libertarianism]] that focuses on society, not the individual, differing from traditional [[libertarian]] currents. And as the [[New Party (Brazil)|New Party]], they also supports the permanence of certain social programs created by the ultra-left governments of [[Party of Brazilian Social Democracy|PSDB]] and [[Worker's Party (Brazil)|PT]]. Like the [[American]] [[Libertarian Party]], PSL qualify themselves as [[fiscal conservatism|fiscally conservative]] and [[liberal|socially liberal]].
