The Left-wing Workers (Estonian: Pahempoolsed töölised ja kehvikud) was a political party in Estonia.
History
The party was a front for the Communist Party,[1] which had used umbrella organisations to participate in politics since being banned in 1918.[2] In the 1932 elections the party won five seats,[1] a decrease on the six seats the Communists won in the 1929 elections running under the guise of the Estonian Workers' Party.[3]
Along with all others, the party was banned in 1935 following Konstantin Päts's self-coup.[4]
