  Liberal Front Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Liberal Front Party (Partido da Frente Liberal) is a political party in Brazil.
The Liberal Front Party (PFL) is considered the main party of the right-wing of Brazil, despite its President Jorge Bornhausen’s statement in an interview with the Magazine Veja, that the party is centrist and that it defends social liberalism.
The party was founded after a split in the Democratic Social Party (ex-ARENA), as Liberal Front in 1985, and supported the presidential candidacy of Tancredo Neves of the Brazilian Party for Democratic Movement, against the official candidate Paulo Maluf.
