ThePortuguese Marxist–Leninist Communist Organization (Portuguese:Organização Comunista Marxista-Leninista Portuguesa,OCMLP) was aPortugueseanti-revisionistMarxist–Leninistcommunist party, founded in 1972 after the merger between two minor communist grouping, the group around the journalO Comunista (split from thePortuguese Marxist-Leninist Committee) andO Grito do Povo (a group based in Northern Portugal).[1] The party achieved some political expression in the last years of the fascist regime ofMarcello Caetano, mainly in Paris, among a community of exiled politicians.
In December 1974 OCMLP launched theCommunist Electoral Front (Marxist-Leninist) (FEC(m-l)), with which it participated in the 1975 Constituent Assembly elections.
The main publication of OCMLP wasO Grito do Povo. The theoretical publication of OCMLP wasFoice e Martello.
In December 1975, it merged with thePortuguese Marxist-Leninist Committee and theOrganization for the Reconstruction of the Communist Party (Marxist-Leninist), forming thePortuguese Communist Party (Reconstructed) or PCP(R). Just prior to the merger, OCMLP had passed through a split. The majority, with strong base inPorto, went through with the merger plans. A minority, who kept strong emphasis on the issue of struggle against "social fascism", refused to join and continued a separate existence.
