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:
“The absence on the panel of anyone who could become pregnant accidentally or discover her salary was five thousand dollars a year less than that of her male counterpart meant there was a hole in the consciousness of the committee that empathy, however welcome, could not entirely fill.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1953)
“The British are a self-distrustful, diffident people, agreeing with alacrity that they are neither successful nor clever, and only modestly claiming that they have a keener sense of humour, more robust common sense, and greater staying power as a nation than all the rest of the world put together.”
—Quoted in Fourth Leaders from the Times (1950)
