Pierre Boussel , better known under his pseudonymPierre Lambert , together with a number of other socialists with whom they worked in theForce Ouvrière union confederation.Within the "PT" the former "PCI" was known as the
Internationalist Communist Current . In reality, despite includingcommunist ,socialist andanarcho-syndicalist tendenciesm the "PT" is generally regarded as little more than a front for the Trotskyist "PCI".Its national secretary is
Daniel Gluckstein (pseudonym: Seldjouk), who got less than 0.5% in the 2002 French presidential election.Gérard Schivardi , candidate in the 2007 presidential elections under the PT, gained 0.34% of the votes. In the 10 and 17 June 2007French National Assembly elections, the party won no seats. Despite these low national results, the PT polled better in local elections.The "PT" published a magazine called "Informations Ouvrières" ("Workers' News").
