Communist Vanguard of the Revolutionary Workers' Party

The Communist Vanguard of the Revolutionary Workers' Party (Spanish: Vanguardia Comunista del Partido Obrero Revolucionario, VCPOR) was a small Trotskyist political party in Bolivia.

The Communist Vanguard of the Revolutionary Workers' Party was established in 1977 by a dissident group which broke away from the Revolutionary Workers' Party in 1975.[1] Led by workers' leader Filemón Escóbar Escóbar and Víctor Sossa.[2]

In 1978 the VCPOR took part in an electoral coalition Revolutionary Left Front backing Casiano Amurrio Rocha.[3]

The Communist Vanguard of the Revolutionary Workers' Party divided into three groups in 1978, two sections breaking away to form the Workers' Vanguard Party and the Workers' Socialist Organization.[4]

In 1979 the VCPOR allied with the Socialist Party-One and its candidate Marcelo Quiroga Santa Cruz. In 1980 the VCPOR allied with the Revolutionary Party of the Nationalist Left and its candidate Juan Lechín Oquendo.[5]
