Revolutionary Communist Party (Argentina)

The party is part of the Union for the Homeland coalition that supported the presidential candidate Sergio Massa during the 2023 Argentine general election.

[4] On January 6, 1968 (the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party) the dissidents formed the Communist Party – National Revolutionary Recovery Committee (Spanish: Partido Comunista-Comité Nacional de Recuperación Revolucionaria, abbreviated PC(CNRR)).

[6] Leaders of PC(CNRR) included Jorge Rocha, Carlos Echagüe, Lucila Irene Edelman, Ricardo Helman, José Ratzer, Antonio Sofía and Otto C. Vargas (veteran leader of FJC and erstwhile secretary of La Plata Zone Committee of the Communist Party).

[4][13][15][16] Ahead of the March 1973 general election, the PCR formed the Fuerza Revolucionaria Antiacuerdista (FRA, "Revolutionary Anti-Accord Force") together with Communist Vanguard and independent left groups.

[18] PCR set up the Party of Labour and of the People (PTP) as a separate entity to build a broader, legal base.

[6] In the 1989 general election, PTP supported the candidature of Carlos Menem for president and his Frejupo alliance.

[6][20] Within the onset of the 1998–2002 Argentine great depression, the party assigned Juan Carlos Alderete to build a section for unemployed within the Corriente Clasista y Combativa (CCC, the PCR trade union front organization).

[21][22] The FTV-CCC bloc carried out several mass protests in the Buenos Aires urban area against the social and economic policies of the government.
