People's Monarchist Party
- People's Monarchist Party
The People's Monarchist Party ("Partido Popular Monárquico", pron. IPA2|pɐɾ'tidu pupu'laɾ mu'naɾkiku) is a political party in Portugal. It was founded in 1974 by various groups opposing the Estado Novo, in the context of the Carnation Revolution. It is a small monarchist party with little political support. It is known that the claimant to the Portuguese Throne, Dom Duarte Pio, does not support this party. They support D. Pedro de Mendoça VI Duque de Loulé ( [http://www.correiodamanha.pt/noticia.asp?id=275139&p=22&idselect=19&idCanal=19 Correio da Manhã] ).
The party currently has two representatives in the Assembly of the Republic, elected on the lists of the Social Democratic Party, following an agreement with the latter party's then-leader, Pedro Santana Lopes.
The party had not been elected on its own since the dissolution of the Democratic Alliance, of which it was a part, and seldom reached 0.5% of the votes. Nevertheless, under the leadership of Gonçalo Ribeiro Telles (who has since retired from the party), the party was a pioneer in introducing ecological concerns into Portuguese politics.
