Portuguese Marxist-leninist Communist Organization




The Portuguese Marxist-Leninist Communist Organization (in left-wing political party, founded in 1973 after the merger between two minor communist grouping, the group around the journal ''O Comunista'' (split from the Portuguese Marxist-Leninist Committee ) and ''O Grito do Povo'' (a group based in Northern Portugal). The party achieved some political expression in the last years of the fascist regime of Marcello Caetano , mainly in Paris, among a community of exiled politicians.

In December 1974 OCMLP launched the Communist Electoral Front (marxist-leninist) (FEC(m-l)), with which it participated in the 1975 Constituent Assembly elections.

The main publication of OCMLP was ''O Grito do Povo''. The theoretical publication of OCMLP was ''Foice e Martello''.

In December 1975 , it merged with the Portuguese Marxist-Leninist Committee and the Organization For The Reconstruction Of The Communist Party (Marxist-Leninist) , forming the Portuguese Communist Party (Reconstructed) or PCP(R). Just prior to the merger, OCMLP had passed through a split. The majority, with strong base in Porto , went through with the merger plans. A minority, who kept strong emphasis on the issue of struggle against " Social Fascism ", refused to join and continued a separate existence.
