Workers' Vanguard Party
Small Trotskyist political party in Bolivia
The Workers' Vanguard Party (Spanish: Vanguardia Obrera, VO) was a small Trotskyist political party in Bolivia.
The Workers' Vanguard Party was established by a dissident fraction which broke away from the Communist Vanguard of the Revolutionary Workers' Party in 1978. [1] It was led by Filemón Escóbar Escóbar and Ricardo Catoira Marín. [2]
The VO took part in elections in 1978 and presented as its presidential candidate Ricardo Catoira Marín and Filemón Escobar as vice-presidential candidate. [3]
In 1980 the VO took part in an electoral coalition Democratic and Popular Union backing Hernán Siles Zuazo. [4]
In 1984, the Workers' Vanguard Party merged with the Revolutionary Workers' Party-Struggle to form the new Revolutionary Workers' Party-Unified.[5]
