LIVRE[11] (lit. FREE, L), previously known as LIVRE/Tempo de Avançar[12] (lit. FREE/Time to Move Forward, L/TDA), is a green political party in Portugal founded in 2014.

Its founding principles are ecology, universalism, freedom, equity, solidarity, socialism and Europeanism.[13] Its symbol is a poppy.

It was legalised by the Portuguese Constitutional Court on 20 March 2014.[14] On 20 May 2015, it officially changed its name LIVRE to LIVRE/Tempo de Avançar, with L/TDA as its abbreviation.[15] It switched back to its original name a few years later.

Political stances

One of the main points of the party's manifesto going into the 2022 Portuguese legislative election was support for a universal basic income. The party also highlighted its support for increasing the national minimum wage to €1,000 per month, extending support for: remote working, pregnant workers, workers with health problems, caregivers and supporting "micro-businesses". The party also supports a Green New Deal for Portugal, lowering VAT from 23% to 6% on vets and pet food, banning bullfighting and legalising cannabis.[16][17]
