The Brazilian Democratic Movement (Portuguese: Movimento Democrático Brasileiro MDB) was a political party in Brazil that existed from 1965 to 1979. It was formed in 1965 when the military government that overthrew President João Goulart abolished all existing political parties. The new electoral rules were so restrictive as to permit the existence of only two parties—the National Renewal Alliance Party (ARENA) and the MDB.
