Minas Republican Party
The Minas Republican Party (, PRM), sometimes translated as the Mineiro Republican Party, was a Brazilian political party founded on 4 June 1888 and active during the First Brazilian Republic. It represented the republican ideology of the agrarian elite of the state of Minas Gerais. Along with the PRP of São Paulo, it was one of Brazil's two most powerful political parties from its foundation to the creation of the Estado Novo regime. It was initially controlled by politicians of Sul e Sudoeste de Minas until Artur Bernardes moved its control core to the Zona da Mata. Its executive committee (the "tarasca") was very powerful and took all the major decisions. As with all Brazilian parties of the time, the PRM was abolished at the advent of the Estado Novo.
