The People's Monarchist Party (Portuguese: Partido Popular Monárquico, pronounced [pɐɾˈtiðu pupuˈlaɾ muˈnaɾkiku]) is a political party in Portugal. It was founded in 1974 by various groups opposing the Estado Novo, in the context of the Carnation Revolution.[citation needed]

The party seeks the restoration of the Portuguese monarchy; however, it is known that the claimant to the House of Braganza, the Portuguese royal family, Dom Duarte Pio, Duke of Braganza, does not support the party.[citation needed] The People's Monarchist Party is a member of the International Monarchist Conference and the European Christian Political Movement.

History[edit]

The party is known for its dispute with Duarte Pio, with party leader, Nuno da Câmara Pereira, supporting a rival claimant, the Duke of Loulé.

The party had, until 2009, two representatives in the Assembly of the Republic, elected on the lists of the Social Democratic Party, following an agreement with the latter party's leader, Pedro Santana Lopes. In 2009, under the leadership of Câmara Pereira, the party decided to run in the elections of that year on its own, gaining no seats.

The party had not been elected on its own since the dissolution of the Democratic Alliance, of which it was a part, and seldom reached 0.5% of votes.
