The Liberal Social Movement (or MLS for short) was founded in 2005 and has as objective to promote social liberalism in Portugal. The movement is a platform of individuals who believe that the old left/right dogma make little sense today, and that it is possible to have a different and constructive type of politics in Portugal.

In brief, this is what MLS stands for:

  • The sovereignty of the individual: the inalienable right to live one's life and to seek happiness;
  • A more just society, regulated by merit, where all can freely exercise their talents and develop their potential, free from any control or pressure in an environment of solidarity and respect between individuals;
  • Equality in front of the law, always with respect for the right to differ;
  • A state that is reduced to the essential minimum but that assures (in a sustainable way and following the subsidiary principle) the defense of the individual and society, private property, Justice, the existence of basic health and social security services, high quality education and the protection of cultural and environmental heritage;
  • Market economy, but always under state control, as corrective element of the inevitable disequilibria.
