This article lists the political parties of Belmonte.

History

The Riachuelo Agreement between liberal and conservative elites shaped Belmonte's political parties and groups.

After Belmontese independence was granted through the Treaty of Vicalvi in 1771, the aristocratic class, led by Sebastião Mascarenhas, established the Confederation of Belmonte, an oligarchic confederal state divided among captaincies and based around slave trade. Although there was no major resistance at the time, many former soldiers and revolutionaries, who fought for a federal liberal democratic republic akin to Halland, started to show their opposition towards the regime. These politicians, military officers and intellectuals, the majority of them centred around urban centres, would form the Liberal Party, whilst the agrarian regional elite composed by landowners and merchants that supported the confederation would be known as conservatives.

In 1788, after brutal crackdowns against the Liberal Party and its members, a series of officers mutinied against the confederation and declared the First Belmontese Republic, thus starting the Federalist Revolt. The war would end years later with a liberal victory and the establishment of the republic. The old agrarian elite, angered by the loss of their power and subsequent defeats at elections, would organize and form the Conservative Party, having as their main base of support the clergy and more traditional members of the armed forces. Further crackdowns against the conservatives would make Belmonte a liberal-led one-party state, leading to a military coup and the creation of a conservative-backed dictatorship under the leadership of Joaquim Durão.

Over time, Durão's inefficiency in combating liberal and regional revolts caused more moderate sections of the armed forces led by Augusto Cintra coup him. Cintra, who wanted long-term stability for Belmonte, invited the liberals to form the Riachuelo Agreement - a political pact which made sure that both parties would rotate in the presidency, creating an oligarchic parliamentary republic. By the late 19th century, this agreement would be broken, causing a severe political crisis that led to another military coup in 1913 followed by the 20-year dictatorship of João Berquó. Under Berquó's rule, all political parties were banned, with his base of support being composed by conservative and nationalist sectors of society. It was only after the end of the Great War that political parties were made legal again with the establishment of the New Republic. During its first 30 years, the National Conservative Union dominated Belmontese politics with the support of the armed forces, with the regime truly liberalizing by the late-70s. Today, the three biggest parties are the National Conservative Union, the Social Democratic Party and the Socialist Bloc.
