Without Fear Movement (in Spanish: Movimiento Sin Miedo, MSM) is a Progressive political party in Bolivia. MSM was founded on March 1, 1999.
The leader of the party, Juan del Granado, has been mayor of La Paz since 2000. The party won mayoral elections in 2010 in both La Paz and Oruro.
MSM entered into a political alliance with the Movement for Socialism (MAS-IPSP) 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 recall referendum, and finally in a joint legislative slate in the 2009 general election.
Famous quotes containing the words fear and/or movement:
“When we seek reconciliation with our enemies, it is commonly out of a desire to better our own condition, a being harassed and tired out with a state of war, and a fear of some ill accident which we are willing to prevent.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“The preservation of life seems to be rather a slogan than a genuine goal of the anti-abortion forces; what they want is control. Control over behavior: power over women. Women in the anti-choice movement want to share in male power over women, and do so by denying their own womanhood, their own rights and responsibilities.”
—Ursula K. Le Guin (b. 1929)
