Fearless Movement
The Fearless Movement is a progressive political party in Bolivia. MSM was founded on March 1, 1999 and dissolved following the 2014 Bolivian general election. It was relaunched in July 2025.
The leader of the party, Juan del Granado, was the mayor of La Paz from 2000 to 2010. The party won mayoral elections in 2010 in both La Paz and Oruro.
MSM entered into a political alliance with the Movement for Socialism on September 3, 2005 in advance of the 2005 presidential election. The parties also consolidated their efforts during the 2006 election for the Constituent Assembly, in support of President Evo Morales during the 2008 Bolivian recall election, and finally in a joint legislative slate in the 2009 general election.
Elected officials
Plurinational Legislative Assembly
Four members of MSM were elected to serve in the lower house of Bolivia's Congress when the party was in alliance with the MAS-IPSP: Javier Zavaleta, Marcela Revollo, Fabián Yaksic, and Samuel Pamuri. The last three of those were elected to uninominal seats. As part of a break between the MSM and its ally the Movement for Socialism, the party's four deputies, elected on the MAS slate left the MAS ranks and pledged in late March 2010, "to act in accord with our political identity, with our conscience, and with the people who elected us with their vote." However, Samuel Pamuri quickly pledged his allegiance to the MAS-IPSP by April 2010. Javier Zavaleta distanced himself from the Fearless Movement as well, culminating in his formal detachment in February 2011.MAS-IPSP deputies have repeatedly threatened to remove the remaining deputies from their seats for non-adherence to their elected slate. In January 2012, the Fearless Movement proposed that the five uninominal seats representing the city of La Paz be subjected to a recall referendum, thereby confirming or rejecting their current party allegiances.
