Rise Up (Portuguese: Ergue-te, E), originally the National Renewal Party (Portuguese: Partido Nacional Renovador, PNR) until July 2020, is a Portuguese far-right^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5] nationalist political party.

History

The PNR was established in February 2000. In July 2020, the party was renamed.

Controversy

Although in the past the party did not reject connections to so-called neo-Nazi racist movements,^[6]^{[unreliable source?]} it claims to be a target of political persecution. In their youth, some of its former members were convicted for racial discrimination and violent crimes, such as the racially motivated murder of Alcindo Monteiro in Lisbon, after being linked to right-wing armed groups such as the Portuguese Hammerskins. In recent years, however, the party has expelled its members that have connections to these kinds of groups and, as a result, the former Portuguese Hammerskins leader Mário Machado has decided to try to create a new party, the New Social Order.^[7]

Election results

In the 2005 legislative elections, the then PNR obtained just under 0.2% of the vote, failing to elect any deputies to Parliament by a wide margin. In the 2009 European election, the party had about 13,000 votes, having 0.37% of the vote, the party had its higher results in the districts of Lisbon and Setúbal. 2015 was the year the party most increased in votes, having received 27,269 votes in the legislative elections. An increase of just over 50% in comparison to 2011.

Since 2019 the right-wing populist Chega seems to be taking votes away from PNR.^{[original research?]}
