The Workers' General Party (Portuguese: Partido Geral dos Trabalhadores, PGT) was a minor political party in Brazil, established in 1993 and registered in 1995. It was presided by trade unionist Francisco Canindé Pegado, who had left the leadership of the General Confederation of Workers to found it.[3]
The party's best results were achieved in the 2002 general elections, when it supported Anthony Garotinho's candidacy for president and had three of its candidates elected as state deputies.[4]
In 2003, the party was incorporated by the Liberal Party, together with the Social Labour Party,[2] in order to surpass an electoral threshold that would be introduced in 2007.[5]
