Communist Party of Nicaragua (in Spanish: Partido Comunista de Nicaragua), a communist political party in Nicaragua. Founded as the Partido Obrero Socialista (Socialist Workers Party) in 1967. The founding core of POS were Juan Lorio, Augusto Lorío, Elí Altamirano and Manuel Pérez Estrada, who all had been expelled from the Nicaraguan Socialist Party on the 23rd of April that year. The group promoted armed struggle against the regime, something that the Moscow-loyalist PSN had rejected.
In 1970 POS changed its name to PCdeN.
In 1990 it joined hands with the right-wing National Opposition Union to topple the Sandinista government.
