The Workers' Party ((アラビア語:حزب العمال)), formerly the Tunisian Workers' Communist Party ((アラビア語:حزب العمال الشيوعي التونسي), ' ; (フランス語:Parti communiste des ouvriers de Tunisie), PCOT), is a Marxist-Leninist political party in Tunisia. Its general secretary is Hamma Hammami. It was outlawed until the Tunisian Revolution, when in a failed attempt to shore up the state framework it and another banned party were invited to participate in a National Unity government.〔("Anti-government protests continue in Tunisia during official mourning period" ) ''World Socialist Website''〕 Subsequently the party and other opposition elements refused this attempt to co-opt the ongoing〔Jorge Martin, ("Tunisia: the revolutionary initiative of the masses continues," ) ''In Defense of Marxism'', (21 January 2011).〕 revolution by installing a government composed at its senior levels by associates of the former regime. It was founded on January 3, 1986 and has a youth wing the ''Union of Communist Youth of Tunisia'' (UJCT). Amnesty International reports that in 1998 five students were charged with belonging to PCOT and given 4-year prison sentences after student demonstrations. After their involvement in the uprising against Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali, PCOT held their first conference as a legal party on July 22–24, with up to 2000 attending. Removing the word "communist" from the party's name was among the topics debated. In the end, party spokesperson Abed Jabbar Bdouri stated the party decided “not to make any changes since we’re currently too busy with the electoral campaign”. In the 2011 Constituent Assembly election, the candidates of PCOT's electoral formation ran by the name "Revolutionary Alternative" ((アラビア語:البديل الثوري) ''; (フランス語:Alternative révolutionaire)'') and won 3 of the 217 seats, in Sfax, Kairouan and Siliana.〔http://themoornextdoor.wordpress.com/2011/11/02/studies-vii-the-pcot-and-electoral-performance/ Retrieved 2011-11-03〕 Member Chrif Khraief has stated the party was dissatisfied with the result, as "3 seats in the CA doesn’t reflect at all the real weight of the party on the streets";〔http://thawraeyewitness.blogspot.com/2011/11/interview-with-tunisian-communist_26.html/ Retrieved 2011-11-29〕 PCOT issued a statement condemning the use of political donations and electoral violations during the campaign.〔 In July 2012, the PCOT decided to remove the word "communist" from its name to avoid the stereotype associated with this term.〔 PCOT is a part of the International Conference of Marxist–Leninist Parties and Organizations (Unity & Struggle). ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Workers' Party (Tunisia)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
