caucuses / parliamentary wing


Explanation:
"Parliamentary groups correspond to "caucuses" in the United States Congress and the Parliament of Canada. A parliamentary group is sometimes called the parliamentary wing of a party, as distinct from its organisational wing.

The term or equivalent applies to a number of countries, including: Australia (party room); Austria (Club); Belgium (fractie/fraction/Fraktion); Brazil and Portugal ("grupo parlamentar" or "bancadas"); Germany (Fraktion); Italy (gruppo), Finland (eduskuntaryhmä/riksdagsgrupp); the Netherlands (fractie); Switzerland (fraction/Fraktion/frazione); and Romania (grup parlamentar), which all have recognized multiparty systems." — Wikipedia

(all-party) parliamentary group


Explanation:
Depends on if it is a group within a party or with the participation of several parties. In the case of 'bancada evangélica' it consists of several parties, so the correct name would be 'Evangelical All-Party Parliamentary Group'. (Or Evangelical APPG, see below)

All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs)
APPGs are informal cross-party groups of members of the House of Commons and the House of Lords. APPG members meet to discuss a particular issue of concern and explore relevant issues relating to their topic. (I imagine they use 'all-party' rather than 'multiparty' due to the low number of political parties in the UK).
