History

Proclamation of CMLP, OCMLP and ORPC(ml). announcing the constitutive congress of PCP(R).

PCP(R) was founded at a unitary congress in December 1975, through the fusion of the Portuguese Marxist-Leninist Communist Organization, the Portuguese Marxist-Leninist Committee and the Organization for the Reconstruction of the Communist Party (Marxist-Leninist).^[2]

PCP(R) held its second congress in 1977.

After the break between China and Albania, PCP(R) sided with the Albanian Party of Labour.^[3] The Communist Party of Brazil had a strong influence over PCP(R).
