History
The party was founded in August 2005 as the Municipalist Renovator Party by pastors of the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God.[11] Lula's Vice President José Alencar moved to PRB on 2005 after leaving the Liberal Party.[12] In March 2006, the party was renamed the Brazilian Republican Party.
The Brazilian Republican Party first fought against President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, then rallied behind him after his re-election in 2006. According to one study, the PRB was supportive of the Lula da Silva and Rousseff presidencies “on the basis of their concern for social democracy and for eliminating inequality.”[13] However, later the PRB started to join the new rising wave of conservativism and anti-petism[14][15] in Brazil and all of the PRB's deputies voted in favor of Dilma's impeachment.
They then supported the government of Michel Temer. In the 2018 presidential election, the Brazilian Republican Party supported the candidate of the Brazilian Social Democracy Party, Geraldo Alckmin. Afterwards the party started to switch its support to President Jair Bolsonaro,[14] reflecting their strong ideological affinity.[14] For the 2022 Brazilian general election, the Republicans formed a coalition with the Liberal Party (PL) and the Progressives (PP) in order to support Jair Bolsonaro's 2022 presidential campaign.[16][17] Candidates launched by the Republicans had their image heavily associated and sometimes were endorsed by Bolsonaro.
In August 2019, the Brazilian Republican Party changed its name into Republicanos.

As mayor of Rio de Janeiro, Crivella called the Carnival of Rio de Janeiro an "un-Christian excess" and ordered severe financial cuts for the organisers.[24] Furthermore, he is known for statements of religious intolerance. In his 1999 book Evangelizing Africa, he claimed that homosexuality is a "terrible evil," that Catholics are "demonic", that African religions are based on "evil spirits," and that Hindus drink their children's blood.[25][26] He has since tried to distance himself from the book, saying that it was the work of a young, immature missionary.[25]
