The Workers' Party (Spanish: Partido Obrero) is an Argentine Trotskyist (left-wing socialist) political party. It is the largest national section of the Co-ordinating Committee for the Refoundation of the Fourth International.
At the Argentine legislative election, 2009 this party had 1.1% of the vote. Its strongest vote in this and some other recent elections has been in Salta Province in the north west, particularly in the city of Salta itself; its next best was in neighbouring Catamarca.
Its members have included Jorge Altamira, Néstor Pitrola, Gabriela Arroyo, Claudio del Plá, Eduardo Sartelli, and the late Mariano Ferreyra.
It participates in the Workers Left Front, which had some success in elections in 2011. Following elections in 2013 it now has two national deputies, and several provincial deputies and councilors.
Publications
Its main publication is the weekly Prensa Obrera (Workers' Press), started in 1982.[1] whose articles are often distributed and translated in other countries.
