The Revolutionary Worker's Party (Spanish: Partido Obrero Revolucionario, POR) is a Uruguayan Trotskyist–Posadist party.
The party was established in 1944 as the Revolutionary Workers League.[1][2] The party is a section of the Fourth International Posadist.[1] In 1969, during rule of president Jorge Pacheco Areco, party was banned and remained illegal until 1971.[3] In 1971, it took part in the establishment of the Broad Front, and contested with its own lists labelled 'Workers Front' in the 1971 elections.[4] Despite the fact that Uruguay signed the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons in July 1968, effectively banning nuclear power in Uruguay, it advocated for the formation of a nuclear weapons program. The party's leader Thiago De Los Santos claimed the treaty suppressed the "last communist revolution which is nuclear bombing".
