  • The Movement of Popular Action (''Movimiento de Acción Popular'', MAP) - a party involved in campaigns for Trade-union democracy and reform in the 1970s.

    • Before merging to form the PSUM, these four parties had formed an Electoral Alliance called the Coalition Of The Left (''Coalición de Izquierda'') in 1977.


Though the PSUM was a Multi-tendency organization, it generally followed the ideology of Eurocommunism . In 1988, the PSUM changed its name to the Mexican Socialist Party (''Partido Mexicano Socialista'', PMS). In 1989, following the presidential campaign of Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas , the PMS joined Cárdenas and other dissidents from the Institutional Revolutionary Party to form the Party Of The Democratic Revolution (PRD).
