The Republic Party (Partido da Republica, PR) is a centrist Brazilian political party.
It was founded on December 21, 2006 by the merge of the Liberal Party (Partido Liberal, PL) and the Party of the Reconstruction of the National Order (Partido da Reedificação da Ordem Nacional, PRONA).
It is likely that in the future two other parties, the Social Christian Party (Partido Social Cristão, PSC) and the Labour Party of Brazil (Partido Trabalhista do Brasil, PTdoB), will be absorbed in the new party.
In the United States, the term "Republic Party" is being increasingly used in liberal blogs as a political epithet against Republicans in response to many conservatives who deride the Democratic Party as the "Democrat Party"
