The Party of the Nation's Retirees (Template:Langx, PAN) was a minor political party in Brazil, founded on November 22, 1995, which aimed to increase the representation of retired people in politics, to defend their rights and to fight corruption.[1]
The party's first participation in elections happened in 1996, under a provisory registry, when it nominated candidates for councillor in Salvador and other municipalities.[1] In 2004, it had its first elected mayoral candidate in Igarapava, in the interior of São Paulo.[2]
On October 5, 2006, after failing to achieve the minimum number of votes required to surpass an electoral threshold introduced that year, the party merged into the Brazilian Labour Party.[3] However, due to the invalidation of this threshold by the Supreme Federal Court on December 7,[4] an appeal by the party against the ratification of the merger was sent to the Superior Electoral Court, but was rejected.[5]
