The National Action Movement (Spanish: Movimiento de Acción Nacional or MAN) is a defunct Venezuelan political party.
The MAN was established by the right-wing journalist Germán Borregales in 1960.[1] It was very much a personal party of Borregales, reflecting his beliefs and having little existence outside of its leader.[2] Both the party and its leader have been characterised as far right.[3]
The party contested the 1963 general election but did not elect any candidates.[4] In 1968 the group contested both the general and Presidential elections, with Borregales their candidate for the Presidency. Although he came bottom of the poll with 0.3% of the vote the party did manage to have a member elected to the Chamber of the National Assembly.[4] This seat was occupied by Borregales himself.[1] They contested both elections again in 1973 and, whilst Borregales's vote share fell to 0.2%, he finished ahead of three other candidates. However the National Assembly seat was lost.[4] During each presidential campaign Borregales campaigned only sporadically and focused most of his attention on the Assembly seat.[5] The party contested no further elections.
