The Workers' Party

The Workers’ Party (Partido dos Trabalhadores) is a major political party in Brazil, founded in 1980. It is generally considered a left-leaning party that advocates for social justice, workers’ rights, and reducing inequality. The party has played a significant role in shaping Brazil’s modern politics, notably with Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva serving as president multiple times. The Workers’ Party emphasizes policies aimed at improving education, healthcare, and social welfare, and often promotes a more active government role in economic and social development. Its approach combines progressive values with efforts to address economic disparities across the country.
