The concept of the Brazilian Libertarian Party first surfaced in 2005 among users of the Orkut social networking service.[2] LIBER's program and statutes were published in the Federal Official Gazette in January 2010.[3] The party has organized demonstrations on the Rio de Janeiro waterfront against the PNDH 3 bill,[4] and have also participated in liberal forums and seminars, such as the Austrian Economy Seminar[5] and the Liberdade e Democracia Forum in Belo Horizonte.[6]
The Libertarians are affiliated with the Inter-libertarians,[7] an international association of Libertarian parties and organizations. Because of its strong defense of a market economy with minimal state interference, the party has been associated with the new right.[8] Although their stances on economic issues tend to lean right, on social issues libertarianism tends to be left-wing. Traditionally, libertarian theory is related to the classical liberal tradition, whose proponents include John Locke, David Hume, Adam Smith and Immanuel Kant.[9]
