The Argentine Marxist–Leninist Communist Party (es|Partido Comunista Marxista–Leninista Argentino, abbreviated PCMLA) was a communist party in Argentina. PCMLA was founded in 1975 as splinter group of the Marxist–Leninist Communist Party.[1] It had a pro-China orientation. Leaders of PCMLA included Oscar Ríos (general secretary), José Ríos (organizational secretary), Daniel Egea, Carlos Herrera, and Ramón Ruiz.[1] The party was active in the student movement.[2] Its student wing was Spanish; Castilian: Grupos de Resistencia Estudiantil (GRE, 'Student Resistance Groups').[1] It had cells in Buenos Aires city and province, Corrientes, Entre Ríos and Santa Fe.[1] The party had a front organization in the meat industry, Resistencia Obrera de la Carne (ROC, Meat Workers Resistance).[1]
The military junta designated PCMLA as a 'band of terrorist criminals'.[3] On May 30, 1976 PCMLA guerrillas captured colonel Juan Alberto Pita, the person the military junta had put in charge of the Spanish; Castilian: [[General Confederation of Labour (Argentina)|Confederación General del Trabajo]] (CGT), in the La Plata city of Manuel B. Gonnet (generally referred to as "Gonnet").[4]
In 1978 the party suffered state repression and began to disintegrate.[1] In 1982 PCMLA merged with PCML, forming the Liberation Party.[1]
