The Communist Party of Spain ( Marxist-Leninist) (in Spanish: Partido Comunista de Espa帽a (marxista-leninista), PCE (m-l)) is a communist political party in Spain, formed in 1964 through the merger of splinter groups of the Communist Party of Spain (PCE).
PCE(m-l) followed the line of the Chinese Communist Party and Maoism until it took the side of the Party of Labour of Albania, which granted it official recognition, against the Chinese, during the events that led to the Sino-Albanian split. [3]
The PCE(m-l) party was formed by communists dissatisfied that the Communist Party of Spain, under the leadership of Santiago Carrillo, had abandoned the armed struggle in 1964. It remained small throughout its existence and in 1968 it shrunk further when a sector of its militants abandoned the party to join the Organisation of Marxist鈥揕eninists of Spain. [4]
In January 1971, at the time when the need was felt to renew the fight against the Francoist rule of Spain, the then Communist Party of Spain (Marxist鈥揕eninist), together with the Spanish National Liberation Front (FELN) and Vanguardia Socialista, took part in the foundation of the Revolutionary and Patriotic Antifascist Front (FRAP) [5] at a meeting in Paris held in a house owned by American writer Arthur Miller. The PCE(m-l) launched then the Coordinating Committee of the Revolutionary Antifascist Patriotic Front, which held its constituent conference in 1974, and was designed to coordinate student insurrections against the Francisco Franco dictatorial regime based on the model of the student demonstrations of May 1968 in France. Initially the Front was led by Julio 脕lvarez del Vayo, FELN leader and a former member of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party.
Other fronts of PCE(m-l) were:
PCE(m-l) published Revoluci贸n Espa帽ola. In 1977, during the Spanish transition to democracy, it started publishing Vanguardia obrera as the organ of the Central Committee of the party.
The party was legalized in 1981. [3] That year, a split surged in the party, with a dissident group forming a parallel PCE(m-l) and publishing its own version of Vanguardia obrera.
The sixth and last congress of PCE(m-l) was held in 1992, voting to dissolve the party. An agreement was made to form a new group, the Partido Comunista Democratico, but that was never carried out. The main leader of PCE(m-l), Ra煤l Marco, had broken away in 1991 to form the Colectivo Octubre, which evolved into Organizaci贸n Comunista Octubre.
The Organizaci贸n Comunista Octubre merged with a number of other regional splits from the PCE (m-l) to form the Comit茅 Estatal de Organizaciones Comunistas (CEOC).
The CEOC with four other communist organizations merged in 2007 to form the re-founded PCE(m-l). [6] The new PCE (m-l) continues the Hoxhaist line of the old PCE (m-l) and is an active member of the ICMLPO, an international grouping of Hoxhaist communist parties.
