Solidarity (Portuguese:Solidariedade,pronounced[solidaɾieˈdadʒi]) is a Braziliansocial-democratic political party that uses theTSE number 77.[6] The party elected 13 deputies and one senator in the2018 Brazilian general election.
Solidarity was founded byPaulinho da Força, union leader and former president of theForça Sindicaltrade union centre. The new party reflected its origin on the Força Sindical: to be alabourist party, but with a less ideological and more pragmatic approach.[7]
In the2022 Brazilian general election, Solidarity supported the pre-candidacy ofLula da Silva in the2022 Brazilian general election under the allianceLet's go together for Brazil. It remains allied with theWorkers Party & other coalition members. Following the elections, the party announced plans to merge with theRepublican Party of the Social Order, with PROS joining an enlarged party under the same name.[8] TheSuperior Electoral Court approved the merger on February 14, 2023.[9]
The party identifies itself as centre-left and social-democratic.[7] The party has strong links withForça Sindical, a labour union that historically strongly opposes thehegemony ofCentral Única dos Trabalhadores and other leftistlabour movements in favor of a less ideological and more pragmatic approach, "Sindicalismo de Resultados" (Unionism of Results), which means less ideology and more direct gains for the working class.
The party supports a world-view followingsocial constructionism andsocial constructivism.[10]
