History

Background

The Pirate Party initially appeared in 2007. [5]

The Pirate Party has met at various events, such as the Campus Party Brasil, in São Paulo, [6] and the Circo Digital, in Rio de Janeiro. The first official meeting of the party was held on March 28 and 29, 2009. The event, called the "First Pirate Insurgency", brought together some of its main activists to define the Pirate Party's guidelines for action in Brazil. [7]

Foundation

The official creation of the party took place on July 27 and 28, 2012, at its National Foundation Convention in Recife. [8] [9] Roughly 130 activists from 15 states met to discuss the foundation of the party, and on July 28 they signed the founding documents. [10]

The party's first national board, elected at the event, [11] was composed of three general secretaries: Alexsandro Albuquerque, from Pernambuco, as general secretary; Kristian Pasini, from Bahia, as second secretary, and Henrique Peer, from São Paulo, as third secretary.

On 2 September 2013, the statute and party programme of the Pirate Party of Brazil were published in the Official Journal of the Union. [12]

On 10 December 2013, the party completed another stage of its foundation, obtaining official registration in notary and its own CNPJ. [13]

The first National Assembly of the party took place between 23 and 25 May 2014 at the Impact Hub Curitiba, when its statute, political programme, economic positioning were discurssed, and signatures for the officialisation of the party were collected. [14] About 90 members attended the event in-person while others attended via the Internet.

Ideology

The party's focus is on the defense of human rights, freedom of speech, privacy and knowledge sharing, which are threatened by attempts to control the network in order to ban file sharing. It also advocates digital inclusion, free software, full transparency in public power, and the construction of public policies in a participatory and collaborative way. [5]

[...] our goal as the Pirate Party is not to sell you another fake ideology, but to defend new principles and ideas (many not so new) originating from this new invention called the Internet and how it can inspire a new type of society where citizenship is not just pressing buttons in a specific period of time, but a constant participation in local affairs.

Organization

The Pirate Party is composed of the General Secretariat, the National Coordination, the National Treasury and the General Assembly. [16]

Recife is the state capital of Pernambuco, Brazil, on the northeastern Atlantic coast of South America. It is the second largest urban area within both the North and the Northeast Region of Brazil after Fortaleza. It is the largest city in Pernambuco state, and the sixth-largest urban area in all of Brazil; the metro population of the city of Recife was 3,726,974 in 2022. Recife was founded in 1537, serving as the main harbor of the Captaincy of Pernambuco—known for its large-scale production of sugar cane. At one point, it was known as Mauritsstad, when it served as the capital city of the 17th century colony of New Holland of Dutch Brazil. Situated at the confluence of the Beberibe and Capibaribe rivers, before they drain into the South Atlantic Ocean, Recife is a major seaport along the Brazilian Atlantic coast. Its name is an allusion to the stone reefs that are present offshore. Together with the urban presence of the Beberibe and Capibaribe rivers and their tributaries, the many additional unique, small islands—and more than 50 bridges linking them throughout the city—create a distinct maritime or "riviera" atmosphere, leading to Recife being known as the "Venice of Brazil".

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Brazilian Communist Party</span> Political party in Brazil

The Brazilian Communist Party, originally the Communist Party of Brazil, is a communist party in Brazil, founded on 25 March 1922. Arguably the oldest active political party in Brazil, it played an important role in the country's 20th-century history despite the relatively small number of members. A factional dispute led to the formation of PCdoB in the 1960s, though both communist parties were united in opposition to the Brazilian military government that ruled from 1964 to 1985. But with the fall of the Soviet Union and the collapse of communism circa 1990, the party lost power and international support. An internal coup in 1992 divided the party and formed a new party, called Popular Socialist Party, using the former identification number of the PCB, 23. That party has since moved towards the centre and now goes by the name Cidadania.
