Mission (portuguese: Missão) is a Brazilian right-wing political party in formation, created by the Free Brazil Movement (MBL).[1]
On June 26, 2025, the movement reached the minimum number of signatures required by the Brazilian Election Justice (TSE) to request party registration.[2]
Ideology
According to the party, its main objectives include combating corruption and ending privileges in public service; enforcing law and order, as in toughening criminal and procedural laws and waging war on criminal organizations; prioritizing education and public health; promoting industrialization, especially in the Brazilian Northeast; respecting fiscal responsibility and reducing the size of the state; and combating deforestation and pollution, with an emphasis on sustainability. The party proposes a platform that combines elements of economic liberalism and social conservatism.[3][4][5]
The Free Brazil Movement chose the title "The Yellow Book" to parody Mao Zedong's "Little Red Book" and Muammar Gaddafi's "Green Book" in a book that would best represent its principles. In it, the movement now advocates for some extent of state intervention in the economy and society, contrary to the position it had in the past.[6]
Supporters include congressman Kim Kataguiri and former São Paulo State representative Arthur do Val, who are both currently members of Brazil Union.

Notes
- ^ Although much of its ideology fits on the right of the political spectrum, the party rejects such a label and positions itself as a pragmatic alternative to the Brazilian political establishment because of what it considers to be "stereotyped" in Brazil: the center is associated with the Centrão, the right has been appropriated by Bolsonarism and parts by the Centrão, the left is associated with Lulism and socialist policies that the party argues have been "disastrous" in Latin America.
