From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Communist Workers Party of Catalonia (in Catalan: Partit Comunista Obrer de Catalunya), was the Catalan name of the Spanish Communist Workers Party (PCOE). PCOC was founded in 1973 as a split from Partit Socialista Unificat de Catalunya, and was legalized on 28 October 1977.
The central organ of PCOC was Endavant!, which was published monthly 1974-1999. The party's general secretary was Albert Farrán.

When Enrique Líster rejoined the Communist Party of Spain (PCE) in 1986, following the departure of Santiago Carrillo from PCE, major sections of PCOC returned to PSUC. PCOC fused, along with PCOE, into the Communist Party of the Peoples of Spain in 2000.
