Patriota (PATRI), formerly the National Ecologic Party (Portuguese: Partido Ecológico Nacional or PEN), is a right-wing political party in Brazil. It was registered in the Supreme Electoral Court in the summer of 2012 and has not participated in any election. Its President is former State Deputy for São Paulo Adilson Barroso, who before creating PEN was a member of the Social Christian Party. The party has links with the Assemblies of God, the largest evangelical denomination Brazil.
The party was originally founded as National Ecologic Party (PEN) in 2011. The party was a center-right environmentalist party, originally meant to attract environmentalist politician Marina Silva in case her party didn't get the authorization to take part in the 2014 Brazilian general election. But this proposal failed and the party obtained a small quantity of votes in the 2014 elections.
In 2017, the PEN changed when Jair Bolsonaro and his sons entered the party, in a bid to run for President in the 2018 Brazilian general election. PEN changed its name to PATRI/Patriota and abandoned its former environmentalist ideals to become a right-wing conservative party pursuing a right-wing populist agenda, influenced by Donald Trump's victory in the 2016 US presidential election and Brexit. Patriota has de-emphasized its green and pro-ecologist policies in favor of its conservative and militarist policies; it has maintained and strengthened its religious opposition to abortion, same-sex marriage, and other left-wing policies.
