The National Renovator Party (Template:Lang-pt, Template:IPA-pt, PNR) is a Portuguese ultranationalist political party. Its motto is "Nation and Labour" and one of its objectives is the promotion of a Portuguese national spirit. It believes that nationalism is putting the interests of the nation above sectarian interests. In 2009, the PNR was the first Portuguese party to be called the "New National Right, Social and Popular".

Its agenda includes proposals such as:

Support the family, Portuguese birth and education.
 Restricting migration and reverse migration flows.
 To fight crime and reduce the age of criminal responsibility.
 Complete and combat political corruption and social.
 Combat Marxism and capitalism that binds thousands of Portuguese families and put in check the nation, companies and national work.
 Fight against job insecurity.

In the 2015 parliamentary election it received 27,269 votes, 0.5% of the total votes. This was the party's best result since being founded. The municipal elections of 1 July 2007 for the Lisbon City Council gave it 0.8% of the vote. In the European elections of 2009, the list of the PNR, headed by Humberto Nuno de Oliveira, got 13,037 votes, 0.4% of the votes.

Its president is, since June 2005, José Pinto Coelho.

It intends to be very similar to the French Front National even if they're not political allies at a European scale. One of the party's main slogans is "Portugal to the Portuguese!"

Grouped in the ethno-nationalist radical right European party family, the party diverges from the universalist and multiracial tradition of Portuguese nationalism.

History

The PNR was established in February 2000, has its origins among the supporters of the various small parties, movements and coalitions of the nationalist right (Party of Christian Democracy, Independent Movement for National Reconstruction/Party of the Portuguese Right, National Front), which emerged following the PREC, all extinct after some time electoral activity without appreciable results.

After the failure of the experiences of the PDC, MIRN/PDP and FN, it overcome the difficulties encountered by militants of the nationalist right to bring the five thousand signatures needed to form a party, acquisition of a liberal centre/centre-left party in bankruptcy (the PRD) presented as an opportunity.

The PRD had fallen into decay, accumulating debts and having no activity, but it was not legally extinguished. It was then that elements of the National Alliance (Aliança Nacional, AN) and the defunct National Action Movement (Movimento de Acção Nacional, MAN) have joined the PRD, have paid their debts and, once in control of the party, changed its name to National Renovator Party (PNR) with a new programme.

Externally, it opposes the process of federalization of the European Union, advocating co-operation rather than integration. It advocates an economic union based on mutual benefits for all states, resulting from the expansion of markets and the abolition of customs barriers, but opposed to political integration.

It was a member of the group European National Front, a group linked to extreme right. It also works with the British National Party (UK), NPD (Germany), La Falange (Spain) and others.

PNR is also opposed to Turkey entering the European Union and considers that Turkey is not a European country, geographically, culturally or ethnically. The party campaigns on other issues related to crime, terrorism and calls attention to the issue of human rights.

In February 2008, the National Renovator Party met with the ambassador of Serbia to promote a more unbiased opinion from the European Union.

Nationalist Youth

Since early 2006, the party has sought to recruit young students in secondary schools and higher education establishments. This aroused once more the attention of the authorities, who sent a report to the Ministers of Education and Interior. Although the PNR is a legal party, the report concluded that there is a real risk of transmission of xenophobic and violent ideas to young people, but since the creation of the Nationalist Youth, there has been no act of racist violence from Nationalist Youth members. The Nationalist Youth leader the recruitment and rejected the accusations and argued that there was discrimination against the movement.

Controversy

File:PNR Cartaz Marques Pombal Abril 2007 w.jpg
One of the boards which have caused controversy (the second, after the first one was vandalised), at the Marquis of Pombal Square, in Lisbon.

The PNR has been accused of promoting discrimination based on racial, religious and sexual grounds and some of its propaganda of subtly inciting to violence and hatred toward certain groups such as immigrants and homosexuals. The question of whether the party should be made illegal has been and still is a matter of discussion in Portugal especially because the Portuguese Constitution forbids any kind of discrimination based on race, sexual orientation, gender or religion.

Although in the past the party did not reject connections to so-called neo-Nazi racist movements, it claims to be a target of political persecution. In their youth, some of its former members were convicted for racial discrimination and violent crimes, such as the racist murder of Alcindo Monteiro in Lisbon, after being linked to far-right armed groups such as the Portuguese Hammerskins. In recent years, however, the party has expelled its members that have connections to this kind of groups and, as a result, the former Portuguese Hammerskins leader Mário Machado has decided to try to create a new party.

Election results

In the 2005 legislative elections, the PNR obtained just under 0.2% of the vote, failing to elect any deputies to Parliament by a wide margin. In the 2009 European election, the party had about 13,000 votes, having 0.37% of the vote, the party had its higher results in the districts of Lisbon and Setúbal. 2015 was the year the party most increased in votes, having received 27,269 votes in the legislative elections. An increase of just over 50% in comparison to 2011.
