History
The idea to create the Libertarians party first came up through discussions in the Orkut social network. The first member was Fernando Fiori Chiocca, who started to unite people around this idea. The next step was made by Juliano Torres, who scheduled a meeting in Belo Horizonte in which a provisional national leadership was established. Since then, LIBER has been growing throughout Brazil. The party has a major presence in social networks.
Libertários is affiliated to Interlibertarians (Libertarian International).
