Early Years

MAS was originally founded as Movimiento al Socialismo Unzaguista (MAS-U) 23 July 1987 by the "socialist" faction of Falange Socialista Boliviana (FSB) led by David Añez Pedraza (the 1985 FSB presidential candidate). The party was named in honor of Oscar Unzaga de la Vega, who founded Bolivia's falangist party in 1937. MAS-U participated as part of the Izquierda Unida (IU) alliance in the 1989, 1993, and 1997 general elections.

MAS-U later merged with Asamblea para la Soberanía de los Pueblos (ASP) and the Instrumento Político por la Soberanía de los Pueblos (IPSP), founded in 1993. ASP-IPSP participated in the 1993 and 1997 IU electoral alliances. ASP (led by Alejo Véliz) broke with IPSP (led by Evo Morales) in 1998. In January 1999, unable to secure official recognition of IPSP by the National Electoral Court, Morales formed an official alliance with the leader of MAS-U. In exchange for use of the party's official registration status, Evo Morales named Añez Pedraza president emeritus of the new IPSP-MAS alliance (later shortened to MAS). The party kept the colors black, cobalt blue, and white (which are also the original FSB colors).
