The Guatemalan Party of Labour (''Partido Guatemalteco del Trabajo'') was a communist party in Guatemala. It existed from 1949 to 1998. It gained prominence during the government of Col. Jacobo Arbenz. It was one of the main forces of opposition to the various regimes that followed Arbenz's overthrow and became a constituent of the URNG guerrilla coalition during the later phase of the country's Civil War. == First Congress == The party, then under the name Communist Party of Guatemala (''Partido Comunista de Guatemala'') held its constituent first congress on September 28, 1949. It was founded by the Guatemalan Democratic Vanguard, which had functioned as a fraction within the ruling Revolutionary Action Party for two years. José Manuel Fortuny had been the leader of VDG, and now became general secretary of PCG. At the time of the congress of the party, its membership stood at 43.〔〕 An earlier Communist Party of Guatemala had been founded in 1922, but was suppressed in 1932. In June 1950 PCG started publishing a weekly newspaper, ''Octubre'', which was distributed amongst workers, peasants and intellectuals throughout the country. In the summer of 1950 a section of the party, led by trade union leader Víctor Manuel Gutiérrez, broke away and formed a separate party, the Guatemalan Revolutionary Workers Party (PROG). PROG made its first public appearance on July 1. The split had been provoked by differences of opinions concerning the social composition of the Central Committee of the party. 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「Guatemalan Party of Labour」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
