The Liaison Committee for the Reconstruction of the Fourth International (in Spanish: Comité de Enlace por la Reconstrución de la IV Internacional) is a Trotskyist international organization, based in Latin America. It was generally known by its Spanish acronym CERCI. CERCI was founded in 1988. The leading character in CERCI was Guillermo Lora, the leader of the Bolivian POR.
Founding members of CERCI included:
- Revolutionary Workers Party in Argentina.
- Revolutionary Workers Party in Bolivia.
- Revolutionary Workers Party in Brazil, founded in 1989, joined CERCI.
Some reports claim that it was probably dissolved around 1997. However, POR in Bolivia still refers to itself as a section of CERCI.
Famous quotes containing the words committee and/or fourth:
“Any committee that is the slightest use is composed of people who are too busy to want to sit on it for a second longer than they have to.”
—Katharine Whitehorn (b. 1926)
“We are playing with fire when we skip the years of three, four, and five to hurry children into being age six.... Every child has a right to his fifth year of life, his fourth year, his third year. He has a right to live each year with joy and self-fulfillment. No one should ever claim the power to make a child mortgage his today for the sake of tomorrow.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
