From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Luis Favre or Luiz Favre is the nom-de-guerre of Felipe Belisario Wermus (born 1950 Buenos Aires, Argentina), an Argentine union militant and member of Politica Obrera. Later he was a leading member of the Internationalist Communist Organisation (OCI), a Trotskyist party in France, working especially in its international department and is now a member of the PT in Brazil. He is now known to a broader public as the second husband of Marta Suplicy, ex-mayor of São Paulo and now a PT minister.

He was a critic of Pierre Lambert within the PCI/OCRFI (Fourth International (ICR)) during its 1986-87 crisis and left the OCI at that time.

He has been since 1986 an assessor to the National Secretariat of International Relations of the PT.

His brother José Saul Wermus, better known under his nom-de guerre Jorge Altamira, is General Secretary of the Argentine Trotskyist party Partido Obrero, successor to Politica Obrera.
