The Workers' Communist Party (Spanish : Partido Comunista de los Trabajadores, PCT) was a communist party in Spain. It was formed in 1977 and emerged from the Left Opposition of the Communist Party of Spain. [2]

The PCT had a youth wing called the Workers' Communist Youth (Juventudes Comunistas de los Trabajadores). [3] In December 1977 it initiated the publication Manifiesto. Soon Manifiesto was substituted by Bandera Comunista, which was published in 1978. [4]

In 1980, the PCT merged with the Communist Party of Spain (8th and 9th Congresses) to form the Unified Communist Party of Spain (PCEU).
