Communist Party of Bolivia (Marxist–Leninist)
The Communist Party of Bolivia (Marxist–Leninist) (Spanish: Partido Comunista de Bolivia (marxista-leninista), PCB (ML)) was a political party in Bolivia. PCB (ML) emerged as a pro-People's Republic of China splinter group of the Communist Party of Bolivia in 1965. PCB (ML) was led by Óscar Zamora Medinaceli.[1][2]
In 1978, PCB (ML) founded the Revolutionary Left Front (FRI) as an open mass front. In the parliamentary elections of 1978, the FRI won 1.2% of the votes. In subsequent elections FRI was a candidate in alliances with MNR, MIR and ADN. Later, FRI became a social democratic party.
The central press organ of PCB (ML) was Liberación.
Today, PCB (ML) no longer exists although FRI has continued.
