The Movement for the Fifth Republic (Spanish: Movimiento V [Quinta] Republica, MVR) is a left-wing Venezuelan political party founded by Hugo Chávez, the current President of Venezuela. In the National Assembly it is the single largest party, with 76 seats out of 165.
According to the official charter of the FifthRepublicMovement, the political committees are called Networks of People's Power.
The leadership of Chavez's movement comprises an array of radical leftists, nationalists and military hard-liners.
The movement has surged on a wave of discontent among those who feel that the political system is unresponsive to the majority of Venezuela's 24 million people.

The First Republic, known as the "Venezuelan Confederation" lasted until 1830, at which point the country became "Republic of Venezuela." In 1864 the country was then restructured into the "United States of Venezuela," and then back into the Republic of Venezuela in 1953.
Since Chavez's election to the Presidency in 1999, the country has been known as the "Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela," signaling Chavez' desires to usher in a new era of politics and government.
