It wis foondit in 1985 unner the name o Liberal Front Pairty (Partido da Frente Liberal, PFL) frae a dissidence o the defunct Democratic Social Pairty (PDS), successor tae the Naitional Renewal Alliance (Arena), the offeecial party durin the militar dictatorship o 1964-1985. It chynged tae its current name in 2007. The oreeginal name reflectit the pairty's support o free market policies,[3] rather than the identification wi internaitional liberal pairties.
