The Libertarian Party (LIBER; Brazilian Portuguese: Partido Libertários) is a libertarian Brazilian political organization listed as a political party by the Superior Electoral Court (Portuguese: Tribunal Superior Eleitoral; TSE). The party was founded on June 20, 2009, in Belo Horizonte.[1]

The concept of the Brazilian Libertarian Party first surfaced in 2005 among users of the Orkut social networking service.[2] LIBER's program and statutes were published in the Federal Official Gazette in January 2010.[3] The party has organized demonstrations on the Rio de Janeiro waterfront against the PNDH 3 bill,[4] and have also participated in liberal forums and seminars, such as the Austrian Economy Seminar[5] and the Liberdade e Democracia Forum in Belo Horizonte.[6]

The Libertarians are affiliated with the Inter-libertarians,[7] an international association of Libertarian parties and organizations. Because of its strong defense of a market economy with minimal state interference, the party has been associated with the new right.[8] Although their stances on economic issues tend to lean right, on social issues libertarianism tends to be left-wing. Traditionally, libertarian theory is related to the classical liberal tradition, whose proponents include John Locke, David Hume, Adam Smith and Immanuel Kant.[9]

## Ideology

[edit]

The party promotes economic libertarianism,[2] drawing inspiration from the Russian-American writer and philosopher Ayn Rand, the American economist Murray Rothbard, and the American philosopher Robert Nozick. It supports free-market policies and is ideologically informed by Austrian-British writer and philosopher Friedrich Hayek and Austrian-American economist and historian Ludwig von Mises. The party identifies with the Austrian School.[10]

In an interview with Instituto Pais Melhor, the former president of LIBER Bernardo Santoro defined libertarianism as "a political philosophy based on individual sovereignty, non-initiation of aggression, and self-ownership." In this definition, a man is the owner of his body and mixes his work with nature, which creates a legal system with private property ownership and an economic system with a free market and free interaction between individuals."[11]

## Registration process

[edit]

The party is not registered with the Superior Electoral Court, as they do not have the required 500,000 supporters.
