The Communist Party of the Workers of Spain (Spanish: Partido Comunista de los Trabajadores de España, abbreviated PCTE) is a Marxist–Leninist communist party in Spain. The PCTE was founded on March 3, 2019 as the result of a split in the Communist Party of the Peoples of Spain (PCPE).[2] The youth organization of the PCTE is called the Collectives of Communist Youth.[2]
History
[edit]The PCTE contested both the April 2019 Spanish general election (14,189 votes, 0.05%) and the election for the European Parliament (19,081, 0.09%).[3][4][5] On the same day of the European parliament election, the PCTE competed in five regional elections and in sixteen municipalities. The party won in total 4,368 votes and two seats in the former mining municipality of Degaña in southwestern Asturias. It also supported the local list Asamblea Ciudadana Por Torrelavega (ACPT), which also won two seats.[6]
At the November 2019 election, the PCTE is fielding candidates in 37 provinces, compared to the 27 provinces the party contested at the previous election.[7]
At the 2023 Spanish regional and local elections, the party has fielded candidates in four autonomies and twenty-one municipalities.[8] Despite winning more votes than in 2019 (7,186 votes overall), the party lost both seats in Degaña. The party only obtained one seat in the Mallorcan town of Bunyola through the broad leftist coalition "Esquerra Oberta de Bunyola".[9][10]
