List of political parties in Belmonte

This article lists the political parties of Belmonte.

Overview

Belmonte has a multi-party system, with various political parties exerting varying levels of influence in the national political framework which, in turn, are unable to form a supermajority in the National Congress.

The first Belmontese political party was the Federalist Party. After the proclamation of the Republic, the party was dissolved into the Liberal Party and the Conservative Party. Over most of the 19th century, both parties would rule peacefully through the oligarchic Riachuelo Agreement until the dissolution of the Liberal Party in 1906, causing a political crisis that led to the 1913 Coup and the Berquó Era, which saw the abolition of all political groups.

After the establishment of the New Republic in 1935, the National Republican Union (URN) became the largest political party of Belmonte, ruling continously over the next 34 years. The 1969 protests led to massive changes in Belmontese politics, allowing the solidification of the current multi-party regime.
