Overview
Agir ([a.ʒˈiɾ], lit. 'Act') is a political party in Brazil, established in 1985. It was founded as the Youth Party (; PJ), and was renamed the National Reconstruction Party (, PRN) in 1989, and the Christian Labor Party (, PTC) in 2000. The party was renamed Agir in 2021, a change ratified by the Superior Electoral Court the following year.
