The Green Party (Portuguese: Partido Verde, PV) is a political party in Brazil. It was constituted after the military dictatorship period when limitations on party development were lifted, and, like other green parties around the world, is committed to establishing a set of policies on ensuring social equity and sustainable development.[6] One of the party's founding members was the journalist and former anti-dictatorship revolutionary Fernando Gabeira (a federal deputy between 1995 and 2011), along with Alfredo Sirkis and Carlos Minc.
The party, however, argues to be in a position on the political spectrum that supposedly goes beyond the "left-right" paradigm, considered by its members to be anachronistic and unrealistic.[9]
History
The Green Party was established in January 1986. It was founded by environmentalists and other activists from social movements, taking as their most expressive leaders Carlos Minc (who soon returned to the PT), Fernando Gabeira, Alfredo Sirkis, Domingos Fernandes, José Luiz Penna, and Sarney Filho.
After Lula's election as president of Brazil in 2002, the Green Party was assigned the Ministry of Culture, to which pop singer Gilberto Gil was appointed.
In the 2010 presidential election, the Green Party candidate Marina Silva gained 19.3% of the vote, thus contributing to Dilma Rousseff's failure to gain 50% of the votes, making a run-off election necessary.[10]
In the 2014 presidential election PV candidate Eduardo Jorge, obtained 0,61% of votes, and the party elected 6 deputies and 1 senator. The party voted in favor of the impeachment of Dilma Rousseff. The party later went to support president Michel Temer.
In May 2016 PV withdrew its support to Temer and went into crossbench.
The party is not a major political force in the country, unlike some of its European counterparts (such as Alliance 90/The Greens in Germany). For a long time, its sole representative in Congress was Fernando Gabeira, elected by Rio de Janeiro (1995–1998, 1999–2002; after a brief period in the Workers' Party, Gabeira returned to PV in 2005). For twenty-eight months, beginning in 2003, the party formed the basis of support for Lula's administration, breaking up in the second half of May 2005, after stating general dissatisfaction with the environmental policies of the government. Gilberto Gil, the former Minister of Culture in Lula's government, is nonetheless a member of the party. The national President of the PV is José Luiz Penna, who succeeded the former RepresentativeAlfredo Sirkis, a former ally of Cesar Maia. Another important name in the party is Sarney Filho, who was Minister of the Environment in the Fernando Henrique Cardoso and Michel Temer administrations. The party also differs from its European counterparts in that, like other Brazilian political parties, it has low turnover in partisan positions and accumulation of power in the hands of relatively few people.
In 2007, the National Convention was held in Brasília – DF, marked by legal challenges and complaints about the misuse of federally-allocated party funds. Some critics of the administration of Penna in national PV were threatened with expulsion or expelled. The Superior Electoral Court suspended the party's funds in 2008. Mr. Gabeira also speaks about reviewing the party's program, which has since been widely criticized in the media.[citation needed]

The party alliance supporting Lula da Silva's candidacy is practically defined and will be composed of one center-right party (Solidariedade), two center parties (Green Party, PV; Sustainable Network, REDE), three center-left parties (Workers' Party, PT; Communist Party of Brazil, PCdoB; and the Brazilian Socialist Party, PSB), and one left-wing party (Party of Socialism and Liberty, PSOL).

(vii) Ideology (party): Despite that some international political science approaches consider party ideology a 'démodé' variable, Brazilian political scientists still vastly use it. Considering the objectives of our study, we classified the parties according to the literature concepts (ZUCCO JR., 2009), under which codes range from left (1) to right (5). Left: PSOL, PSTU, PCO, PCB. Center-left: PT, PCdoB, PDT. Center: PMDB, PSDB, PSB, PPS, PV. Center-right: PSD, PP, PR, PRB, PROS,PSC, PTB, PHS, SD. Right: DEM, PMN, PRP, PRTB, PSDC, PSL, PTdoB, PTC, PTN.
