The Brazil of Hope Federation (Brazilian Portuguese: Federação Brasil da Esperança) or FE Brasil is a federation of Brazilian parties formed by the Workers' Party (PT), Communist Party of Brazil (PCdoB) and Green Party (PV) on 18 April 2022 in preparation for the 2022 general election.[2][3][4]
History
Background
In 2017, the National Congress of Brazil approved a constitutional amendment which abolished legislative coalitions and established an electoral threshold to receive party subsidies.[5] The electoral reform aimed to decrease the effective number of parties in Brazil. After the reform, smaller parties wanted to create a new mechanism to help them win seats, with many proposing single non-transferable vote. In 2021, it was approved the creation of party federations, based on the Broad Front model.[6]
After the federations approved, there began talks to form left-of-center federations, which began official talks to form a federation between the Workers' Party, the Brazilian Socialist Party (PSB), the Socialism and Liberty Party (PSOL), the Communist Party of Brazil and the Green Party in late 2021.[7] PSOL quickly left the negotiations, preferring to focus on a federation with the Sustainability Network (REDE).[8] Negotiations between PT and PSB got into advanced stages, with a broad majority of PSB politicians wanting to join the PT-lead federation, but PSB withdrew from the federation because of disagreements over São Paulo, especially due to the gubernatorial and mayoral candidates.[9]
Formation
In April 2022, PT, PCdoB and PV approved a federation and subsequently sent it to the Superior Electoral Court.[10] It was approved and the federation was officially formed.
Composition
The federation consists of three (3) political parties:
