Francisco Rodrigues de Alencar Filho, known as Chico Alencar (born 19 October 1949), is a Brazilian politician, historian, and writer, currently federal deputy for Rio de Janeiro, affiliated with the Socialism and Liberty Party (PSOL). He left the Workers' Party (PT) in 2005, along with one of his partners Plínio de Arruda Sampaio, after the expulsion of Luciana Genro, Heloísa Helena and Babá from the party.[1] He was elected by journalists, five times in a row, the best federal deputy of Brazil, receiving the Prêmio Congresso em Foco (Congress in Focus Prize) award.[2] On 17 April 2016, he voted against the opening of the impeachment process of former president Dilma Rousseff.[3]
