The Progressive Union Federation (Portuguese: Federação União Progressista, UPB) is an electoral and parliamentary group formed by Brazil Union and Progressistas.[1][2][3]
The federation brings together two parties that trace their lineages to the National Renewal Alliance (ARENA), a party that supported the Brazilian military dictatorship, and its successor, the Democratic Social Party (PDS).[4]
In March 2025, with a sum of both parties, the federation had 2,410,352 registered members. The size of the federation's creation led to it being called a "superfederation", as it will have the largest benches in both houses of the National Congress, the largest number of affiliated mayors and governors, and largest share of party subsidies.[5]
