Revolutionary Party Of The Nationalist Left
The Revolutionary Party of the Nationalist Left (, PRIN) was a left-wing political party in Bolivia. It was founded in 1963 by the labor leader Juan Lechín Oquendo and by Mario Torres Calleja and Edwin Moller in lesser roles. The PRIN seceded from the Revolutionary Nationalist Movement (MNR) in protest against Víctor Paz Estenssoro's decision to seek a third elected term as president in 1964, rather than permit then Vice-President Juan Lechín to have the MNR's presidential nomination.Political parties of the Americas: Canada, Latin America, and the West Indies. Greenwood Press, 1982. P. 143. The PRIN combined the left wing of the MNR and former members of the Revolutionary Workers' Party (POR). The PRIN's ideological position espouses left-wing nationalism, rather than socialism in more traditional terms. It is critical of bourgeois influence in the main body of the MNR. Electorally, the PRIN abstained in the 1964 and 1966 presidential votes. After the military coup of 1964, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Revolutionary Workers' Party (Bolivia)
The Revolutionary Workers' Party ( es, Partido Obrero Revolucionario, POR) is a Trotskyist political party in Bolivia. At its height in the late 1940s and early 1950s, the POR was able to gain a mass working-class following. History Beginnings The POR was founded in December 1935 at a congress in Córdoba, Argentina, called by Gustavo Navarro and other Bolivian radicals who were in exile because of the Chaco War. The congress formally merged three Bolivian exile groups based in Argentina, Chile, and Peru respectively. Under the advice of José Aguirre Gainsborg, the leaders of the new POR affiliated with Leon Trotsky's International Left Opposition. When the Chaco War ended in 1935, the POR leaders returned to Bolivia. The leaders disagreed over whether to maintain a strict Trotskyist party or form a broad socialist movement. As Bolivia passed through a series of short-lived military dictatorships, the POR began to enter the emerging labor movement. In 1947 the party's activ ...

Communist Party Of Bolivia
The Communist Party of Bolivia ( es, Partido Comunista de Bolivia) is a communist party in Bolivia. It was founded in 1950 by Raúl Ruiz González and other former members of the Revolutionary Left Party (PIR). It remained small and did not hold its first national party congress until 1959. It soon entered the labor movement and was included in the leadership of the Central Obrera Boliviana and the FSTMB during the 1960s. However, it remained a minority force in most unions. The Sino-Soviet split further weakened the PCB. In 1964, Ruiz González and others broke away to form the pro-China Communist Party of Bolivia (Marxist–Leninist). At the time, the U.S. State Department estimated the party membership to be approximately 6,500. In 1966, the Cuban-based revolutionary Che Guevara planned to initiate a guerrilla war against René Barrientos, Bolivia's military dictator. The PCB initially pledged its support, but became suspicious of Guevara when he arrived. The party did no ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Authentic Revolutionary Party
The Authentic Revolutionary Party ( es, Partido Revolucionario Auténtico, PRA) was a political party in Bolivia. History The Authentic Revolutionary Party was founded in 1960 as a faction of the Revolutionary Nationalist Movement (MNR), the ruling party under the presidency of Víctor Paz Estenssoro by Wálter Guevara Arze, formerly a major MNR ideologist and foreign minister, who unsuccessfully opposed Víctor Paz Estenssoro in the 1960 presidential election, polling 14% of the votes. The party was led by Guevara Arze, Jorge Ríos Gamarra and José Luis Jofre. The Authentic Revolutionary Party adopted a reformist, nationalist position critical of what it saw as the excessive influence of left-wing labor unions in the Revolutionary Nationalist Movement and in Bolivian politics generally. By 1962, Guevara Arze had become convinced that the MNRA must establish its own identity separate from that of the MNR, so it was rechristened the Authentic Revolutionary Party – exce ...
