	Brazilian Democratic Movement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Brazilian Democratic Movement (MDB) was a centrist political party in Brazil that existed from 1965 to 1979.
		It was formed in 1965, when the military government that overthrew President João Goulart abolished all existing political parties and replaced them with its own party, the National Renewal Alliance Party (ARENA), and the MDB as the official party of the opposition.
		In 1979, in an attempt to split-up the opposition, the military government abolished the two-party system, and the MDB became the Party of the Brazilian Democratic Movement"(PMDB).

		Parties either represented regional or sectional interests or served as vehicles for individual political leaders.
		The military regime dissolved the existing parties in 1965 and created a two-party structure consisting of the government-sponsored party, the National Renovating Alliance, and an opposition, the Brazilian Democratic Movement.
		The major parties to emerge were the Brazilian Social Democratic Party and the Democratic Workers’ Party on the center-left; the centrist Brazilian Democratic Movement Party; the Liberal Front Party and the Brazilian Labor Party on the center-right; and the right-wing Progressive Party.
