Movement for Direct Democracy (Spanish: Movimiento por la Democracia Directa, MDD) was a Venezuelan far-left political party, which was officially founded in April 2000.
It was dissolved on January 7, 2007, after its leadership decided to merge MDD with the newly founded United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) in support of Bolivarian Revolution led by Hugo Chávez.
[2] MDD emerged after the 2000 Venezuelan general election due to some minor ideological disagreements with members of pro-Chavez parties, who were dissatisfied with the way they were running Venezuela.
From 2002 they began to support former president Hugo Chávez by forming alliance with Fifth Republic Movement for the 2004 regional elections.
[6][7] On January 7, 2007, MDD spokesmen announced their dissolution to join the United Socialist Party of Venezuela proposed by Hugo Chávez in mid-December 2006.
