Communist Party of Spain (international) (1975)

The Communist Party of Spain (international) (Spanish: Partido Comunista de España (Internacional), Catalan: Partit Comunista d'Espanya (internacional)) was formed in 1975 after a split of the PCE(i)-Linea proletaria took again the name of PCE(i), used by the Spanish Labour Party until 1974.

The PCE(i) defended the independence of the oppressed peoples of Spain, specially the Catalan one, from a working-class viewpoint.

The PCE(i) began to decline following the death of its (unarmed) member Gustau Muñoz, shot by the Spanish police during a demonstration in Barcelona in 1978.

The same year another member of the party, Jordi Martínez de Foix i Llorenç, died while manipulating an explosive device.

[5] After 1978 the PCE(i) gradually disappeared by the arrest of most of its members and the dismantling of the party structures.
