During the [[Marxist]] government of President [[Lula da Silva|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<ref>[http://www.valor.com.br/politica/3593512/em-convencao-do-pp-bolsonaro-insiste-em-sua-candidatura-presidencia In a National Convention of PP, Bolsonaro insists in his candidacy for Presidency], Valor Econômico - June 26th, 2014</ref>
