Communist Party Of Spain
The Communist Party of Spain ( es, Partido Comunista de España; PCE) is a Marxist-Leninist party that, since 1986, has been part of the United Left coalition, which is part of Unidas Podemos. It currently has two of its politicians serving as government ministers in the Spanish government, in the roles of Minister of Labour and Social Economy and Minister of Consumer Affairs respectively. The PCE was founded by 1921, after a split in the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party ( es, Partido Socialista Obrero Español; PSOE). The PCE was founded by those who opposed the social democratic wing of the PSOE, because the social democrat wing did not support the PSOE's integration in the Communist International founded by Vladimir Lenin two years prior. The PCE was a merger of the Spanish Communist Party ( es, Partido Comunista Español) and the Spanish Communist Workers' Party ( es, Partido Comunista Obrero Español). The PCE was first legalized after the proclamation of the Second S ...

El Comunista
''El Comunista'' ("The Communist") was the official publication of the Spanish Communist Party. The Socialist Youth of Spain (''Juventudes Socialistas de España''; JSE), like the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (''Partido Socialista Obrero Español''; PSOE) that it was associated with, had been a proponent of the Second International, an organisation of socialist and labour parties. Following the Russian Revolution in 1917, there was an influx of new and more left-leaning members to the JSE, which caused it to diverge from the PSOE. One of these members was Juan Andrade, who joined the JSE in 1916 and became editor of the official JSE newspaper, ''Renovación'', in 1919; the ''Renovación'' then began printing articles supporting the Communist International. On April 15, 1920, at the Fifth Congress of the JSE, the membership voted to break off from the PSOE, and founded the Spanish Communist Party, leaving behind a small group that wished to rebuild the Socialist Youth of ...
