Communist Party of the Workers of Spain


The Communist Party of the Workers of Spain is a communist and Marxist–Leninist political 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. The youth organization of the PCTE is called the Collectives of Communist Youth.
The PCTE contested both the April 2019 Spanish general election and the election for the European Parliament. On the same day of the European parliament election the PCTE competed in five regional elections and in sixteen municipalities. It won two seats in the former mining municipality of Degaña in southwestern Asturias. It also supported the local list Asamblea Ciudadana Por Torrelavega, which also won two seats.
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.
