The Party of National Mobilization (Portuguese: Partido da Mobilização Nacional, PMN) is a national-centrist political party in Brazil founded by politicians from the state of Minas Gerais on April 21, 1984, advocating for agrarian reform, termination of debt payments, ending of relations with the International Monetary Fund and formation of a trade bloc with other South American nations.
Due to some problems with the Brazilian Electoral Court, the PMN's registration was ceased in January 1989. The party re-started in June of the same year. At the legislative elections in Brazil, 6 October 2002, the party won 1 out of 513 seats in the Chamber of Deputies and no seats in the Senate. Nowadays, PMN is one of the members of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's coalition.
At the 2010 elections, the PMN won four seats in the Chamber of Deputies and won the governorship of the state of Amazonas.

“At every party there are two kinds of people—those who want to go home and those who don’t. The trouble is, they are usually married to each other.”
—Ann Landers (b. 1918)

—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
“When they are preparing for war, those who rule by force speak most copiously about peace until they have completed the mobilization process.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
