| | Workers' Party (Brazil) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | After 1990 the Worker's Party has grown in popularity, winning elections in many important cities, like São Paulo and Porto Alegre(1988,1992, 1996 and 2000), and states like Rio Grande do Sul(1998). |
 | | This winning streak culminated with the victory of its presidential candidate, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in 2002, who succeeded President Fernando Henrique Cardoso of PSDB. |
 | | The relative changes in the political orientation of his party (PT), the Government and Lula himself were well received by the majority of the population, but as a historically more radical party, PT has been suffering from internal struggles with members that followed the old standards. |
