The Republican Party (Portuguese: Partido Republicano, PR) was a political party in Brazil. The PR was founded by former president of Brazil Artur Bernardes in 1945 and operated almost solely in Minas Gerais. It succeeded the old, local republican parties in the states of Minas Gerais, São Paulo, Maranhão, Pernambuco, and Paraná.[1] The party was shut down in 1965, when all political parties were abolished by the military dictatorship.[1][2]
