The Socialist Workers' Party (fr|Parti socialiste des travailleurs, PST; ar|حزب العمال الاشتراكي|translit=hizb aleummal alaishtirakii; kab|Akabar Anemlay n Yixeddamen) is an Algerian political party. Founded in 1989 by the Revolutionary Communist Group, itself established by a group of Trotskyist students in 1974, the PST remains affiliated with Fourth International, a Trotskyist international.[2]
In the 2007 Algerian parliamentary election, the PST won 0.75% of the vote, meaning it did not receive any of the 389 seats available.[3]
In 2019, the PST joined the Forces of the Democratic Alternative (FDA), a secular alliance of political and civil opposition during the pro-democracy Hirak movement.[4] As part of the FDA, it boycotted the 2021 Algerian parliamentary elections, which subsequently had the lowest turnout of an Algerian election, at 22.99%.[5]
In January 2022, the Council of State order the freezing of all PST activities, as well as the closure of its headquarters, following a complaint filed by the Ministry of the Interior. THE PST denounced this as "a blatant attack on partisan pluralism and democratic freedoms in Algeria".[6]
