Act (Brazil)
As the National Reconstruction Party, it had the first president chosen through direct elections after the end of Brazil's military dictatorship, Fernando Collor de Mello, who suffered an impeachment process in 1992.[17] In the same year, it succeeded in having its candidate, Fernando Collor de Mello, elected to the presidency of Brazil with 53.03% of the total votes.The party carried out a platform of encouraging free trade, opening Brazil's market to imports, privatizing state-run companies, and attempting to reduce the country's rampant hyperinflation by way of the Plano Collor, which significantly reduced inflation rates in 1991,[18] but was followed by a renewed and persistent, though smaller uptick in 1992.Following the impeachment of Fernando Collor for corruption and influence peddling charges in 1992, the party suffered a deep confidence crisis, losing most of its parliamentary representation.[24] In 2023, the party underwent a total ideological reform,[14] shifting to focus on promoting the rights and well-being of autistic people.
