Politics of Brazil Political parties Elections ^ A: The party has also been described as center-right and center-left

Solidarity (Portuguese: Solidariedade, pronounced [solidaɾieˈdadʒi]) is a Brazilian centrist political party that uses the TSE number 77. The party elected 13 deputies and one senator in the 2018 Brazilian general election.

Solidarity was founded by Paulinho da Força, union leader and former president of the Força Sindical trade union centre. The new party reflected its origin on the Força Sindical: to be a labourist party, but with a less ideological and more pragmatic approach. Combining labor and trade union agendas with a centrist political stance, focused on dialogue with the business sector and the advocacy of policies for economic growth and job creation. Solidariedade defines itself as centrist, laborist, and humanist, and is occasionally described as "center-left". In practice, however, its parliamentary activity and political alliances frequently position it as part of the so-called Centrão—a bloc characterized by pragmatism and the pursuit of influence in Congress.

In the 2022 Brazilian general election, Solidarity supported the pre-candidacy of Lula da Silva in the 2022 Brazilian general election under the alliance Let's go together for Brazil. It remains allied with the Workers Party & other coalition members. Following the elections, the party announced plans to merge with the Republican Party of the Social Order, with PROS joining an enlarged party under the same name. The Superior Electoral Court approved the merger on February 14, 2023.

Ideology

The party identifies itself as centre-left and social-democratic. The party has strong links with Força Sindical, a labour union that historically strongly opposes the hegemony of Central Única dos Trabalhadores and other leftist labour movements in favor of a less ideological and more pragmatic approach, "Sindicalismo de Resultados" (Unionism of Results), which means less ideology and more direct gains for the working class.

The party supports a world-view following social constructionism and social constructivism.

It has also been described as right-wing as well.
