The Popular Socialist Party (Portuguese: Partido Popular Socialista, PPS, also translated as Socialist People's Party) is a social democratic political party in Brazil.
History
It was founded in 1992 after the main body of the Brazilian Communist Party decided to reinvent itself as a democratic socialist party following the collapse of the Soviet Union. A minority faction of the Brazilian Communist Party retained the old name.
The PPS was a part of the coalition government of Brazilian President Luis Inácio da Silva until December 2004, when its leader withdrew its support from the coalition.[3] Ciro Gomes of the PPS refused to resign from his position as Minister for National Integration, leading to his removal from the PPS's National Executive. In the 2006 legislative elections, the party won 21 seats in the chamber of deputies. At that time party members held the state governorships of Mato Grosso and Rondônia. In the presidential election, the PPS endorsed Geraldo Alckmin of the Brazilian Social Democracy Party (PSDB).
The PPS suffered setbacks in the 2010 general elections when it lost 10 seats in the Chamber of Deputies leaving just 12 remaining, although the party won its first Senate seat. It won no state governorships. The party again supported the PSDB presidential candidate, this time José Serra, and was part of his Brazil can do more alliance.
Later the party consolidated its position in the opposition to PT. It supported the Impeachment of Dilma Rousseff in 2016[4] and formed a coalition with the provisional government with the Brazilian Democratic Movement Party(PMDB) and the PSDB, under the rule of Michel Temer[5].
