Surtaline Liberation Action

The Surtaline Liberation Action (Portuguese: Ação pela Liberação da Surtalina), better known by its acronym ALISA, was a Surtaline right-wing to far-right political party created by the Surtaline military junta that overthrew democratically-elect Álvaro Camargo under the pretense of alleged Communist links in 1967, leading to the establishment of a military regime that lasted until 1983, when it was officially dissolved with the holding of direct presidential elections as part of the constitutional reforms held between 1979 and that year. Although it consisted mainly of military members, it also gathered more conservative National Unity and Liberal Front members, while more moderate members joined the Social Democratic Party in the formation of the Surtaline Democratic Front. Following the holding of 1981 regional elections that reestablished multipartyism, several of its members (re)joined either the National Unity or the Liberal Action while a splinter faction went to found the Surtaline People's Action.
