political party inSpain , formed in1964 through the merger of splinter groups ofCommunist Party of Spain (PCE). PCE(m-l) followed the line of theCommunist Party of China andMaoism until1976 , when it PCE(m-l) took the side of theParty of Labour of Albania against the Chinese, during the events that led to theSino-Albanian split .At meeting in
Paris (held in a house owned by American writerArthur Miller , January1971 ) PCE(m-l) launched the "Coordinating Committee" of "FRAP" ("Frente Revolucionario Antifascista y Patriota" - the "Revolutionary Anti-fascist Patriotic Front "), which held its constituent conference in1974 , and was designed to carry out armed actions against theFrancisco Franco dictatorial regime). Initially, the Front was led byJulio Álvarez del Vayo (a former member of theSpanish Socialist Workers' Party ). The execution of three FRAP members along with two members of BasqueETA onSeptember 27 1975 brought world-wide condemnation of the regime.Other fronts of PCE(m-l) were:
*"Convención Republicana de los Pueblos de España"
*"Juventud Comunista de España (marxista-leninista) "
*"Federación Universitaria Democrática Española"
*"Unión Popular Antifascista"PCE(m-l) published "Revolución Española". In
1977 , during theSpanish transition to democracy , it started publishing "Vanguardia obrera" as the organ of theCentral Committee of the party. A split surged in the party in1981 , 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),Raúl Marco , had broken away in 1991 to form the "Colectivo Octubre", which evolved intoOrganización Comunista Octubre .Now, Organización Comunista Octubre with another communist organizations of Spain had founded again the PCE(m-l).
