Partido Comunista de España

The Partido Comunista de España (PCE), founded in 1921, is a political party in Spain that promotes communism and leftist policies. Historically significant, it opposed the dictatorship of Francisco Franco during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) and played a crucial role in the democratic transition after Franco's death in 1975. The PCE advocates for social justice, workers' rights, and anti-capitalist reforms. While its influence has waned in recent decades, it remains part of Spain's political landscape, often collaborating with other leftist groups and influencing progressive policies within the broader coalition of the left.
