On July 10, 2020, wanting to change its public image and undo misconceptions arising from the confusion between the acronyms PNR and PDR —the former Republican Democratic Party (Portuguese: Partido Democrático Republicano), now named National Democratic Alternative—, it changed its name to Ergue-te, with the acronym E, this alteration was accepted and registered by the Constitutional Court following deliberation taken by the National Council of PNR on November 23, 2019.

According to the report, even though the PNR was a legalized party at the time, there was a real risk of transmitting xenophobic ideas to young people, which would allegedly promote violence.

[12] The Youth's leader confirmed this recruitment, refuting, however, the transmission of messages with a criminal or violent nature to young people.

[13] After the name change in 2020, the party youth was renamed "Lover's Lane" (Ala dos Namorados), inspired by the right-wing of the Portuguese army in the Battle of Aljubarrota.

It had been almost 120 minutes from the set time for the beginning of the parade by the security force agents against the government policies when the organizers arrived at the Marquis of Pombal Square to warn that, after all, there wasn't going to be a demonstration.

With the argument that the PSP, GNR, Maritime Police and Foreigners and Border Services agents refused to "parade next to neonazis" (and PNR representatives) that had gathered there to participate.

The protests increased in tone, confusion arose and, all of a sudden, when they least expected it, the security forces agents passed over the organizer's decision and started their parade.
