President of Brazilian Labour Party
In 1979, the military dictatorship lifted its enforcement of a two-party state, allowing pluripartidism. Soon thereafter, the social-democratic wing of the original PTB, led by Leonel Brizola, attempted to recreate the Brazilian Labour Party, a party founded by Getúlio Vargas of which Brizola had been a member, but the military government instead awarded the name to a group led by Ivete Vargas. Many of her group were politicians who did not follow PTB's historical labourist ideology, conservatives and even former oppositors of the party, which all but ensured that the new PTB would abandon leftist politics. In response, Brizola instead led his faction to found the Democratic Labour Party (PDT).[3][4] From 1981 until her death in 1984, Ivete Vargas served as President of the Brazilian Labour Party. The new party embraced centrist or slightly right-leaning politics, but since the conservative wave in the 2010s, it showed strong support for the government of Jair Bolsonaro,[5] in addition to affiliating federal deputy Daniel Silveira, known for making references to AI-5.[6]
