The Rebuilding of the National Order Party (Portuguese: Partido de Reedificação da Ordem Nacional), abbr. PRONA in Portuguese, was a Nationalist and Third-Positionist party founded in 1989's Brazil by the brazilian polymath and military man Enéas Carneiro.

History

The party had its origins marked by the striking figure of Enéas Carneiro representing his party alone in the Brazilian National Congress, with little recognition and resorting to abusive advertising through Brazilian television and radio systems, with only fifteen seconds to express its own ideals. Despite having few chances and little recognition on the national stage, the party remained strong and fielded its own governors, senators, state deputies, and federal deputies the following year, yet, unfortunately, failing to elect anyone. On October 30th of the same year, it obtained its official registration from the Brazilian Superior Electoral Court. The party gained significant influence in 1994 with the rise of Enéas Carneiro as a presidential candidate and Admiral Roberto Gama e Silva as his running mate. At this point, the party already faced less reprisal from the television network.

Occupying a larger political space than in the previous election, Enéas obtained 4,671,810 votes, which amounted to 7.4% of the valid votes, securing him the third position among the nine candidates. The performance of the other PRONA candidates in that year did not match Enéas's vote, as none of the candidates for state governors and the Senate managed to achieve significant votes, and the party failed to elect at least one federal deputy.

In the general elections of 1998, the party once again presented Enéas as a presidential candidate, but this time his performance was below the previous election: he only achieved fourth place, and his vote count dropped to 1,447,080 votes, or about 2.14% of the total. The party's candidate for governor in Rio de Janeiro was the doctor Lenine de Sousa, who obtained 0.96% of the votes, ranking fifth. In São Paulo, the party fielded Constantino Cury Neto, who ended up in sixth place with 0.41% of the valid votes. In that election, PRONA elected a deputy for the first time, the evangelical pastor De Velasco from São Paulo.

Philosophy

PRONA had a foundation of far-right ideology based on being against international usury caused by American and European globalists. The party adhered to an anti-communist and anti-globalization philosophy, and to a lesser and almost unrepresentative extent, anti-democracy (even though such a statement was not explicitly stated). PRONA rejected other parties and presidential candidates because, in their entirety, they represented the political clique that had taken root in the country, where there was corruption and the surrender of Brazilian material goods. This included the surrender of the Amazon Rainforest to foreign environmental care organizations or even full alien control, as well as the vegetables that were easily grown in the rich Brazilian territory.

The party claimed to be the only serious Brazilian party, and its leader stated that "from the centralized action of the 1960s and 1970s, which crushed thought and silenced opposition voices, we have arrived, through a dialectical process, at its antithesis, at non-authority, at non-decision, at non-accomplishment, at inaction, at almost anarchy.", in opposition to neoliberalism, it proposed a "strong, interventionist, and technical State". Asserting itself as a "nationalist" party, PRONA criticized "the complete opening of the national productive system", "the surrender of the country's subsoil to multinational mining companies", and "the elimination of any privileges for national capital companies". The party also accused Brazilian democracy of being "at the service of alienated ruling elites" and advocated for an economic model that prioritized the domestic market and fought against income concentration and regional imbalances. The Real Plan, adopted by the Itamar Franco government to contain inflation and which was the main driver of Fernando Henrique Cardoso's presidential candidacy, a former Finance Minister, was classified as "politically motivated" and blamed for a significant decrease in the population's purchasing power.
