In the 2022 Brazilian general election, Solidarity supported the pre-candidacy of Lula da Silva in the 2022 Brazilian general election under the alliance Let's go together for Brazil. It remains allied with the Workers Party & other coalition members.

Following the elections, the party announced plans to merge with the Republican Party of the Social Order.[6] The Superior Electoral Court approved the merger on February 14, 2023.[7]

Ideology

The party identifies itself as centre-left and social-democratic.[8] The party has strong links with Força Sindical, a labour union that historically strongly opposes the hegemony of Central Única dos Trabalhadores and other leftist labour movements in favor of a less ideological and more pragmatic approach, "Sindicalismo de Resultados" (Unionism of Results), which means less ideology and more direct gains for the working class.

The party supports a world-view following social constructionism and social constructivism.[9]
