History
NOVO was founded on 12 February 2011 by 181 citizens of 35 different professions and originating from 10 different federative units. In an interview with InfoMoney, João Amoêdo, founder of NOVO, stated that none of the existing political parties would defend NOVO's ideals, and as such, it was easier to create a party from scratch. Amoêdo also paid for the majority of the R$5 million expenses surrounding the Party's founding, contributing with R$4.5 million. Pedro Moreira Salles also contributed with around R$100,000 and Cecília Sicupira, wife to businessman Carlos Alberto Sicupira also made a significant contribution.
Formally registered as a political party in 2015, NOVO won eight deputies in the 2018 elections and had one of its own, Romeu Zema, elected governor of Minas Gerais, Brazil's second most populous state.

Why this record matters
“New Party (Brazil)” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Party, Brazil and classical-liberal provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q18552710. VIAF identifies the subject as 143857890. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2011, 2014, 2015 and 2018.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
