History MAS was founded in 1971, with a view to emphasising a socialist message. Initially led by Teodoro Petkoff, its first congress was held on January 14, 1971.

At the parliamentary elections the same year it achieved a high-water mark of 5 Senators and 24 Deputies. MAS initially supported the government of Hugo Chávez in 1998.
