The Workers' Vanguard (Spanish: Vanguardia Obrera; VO) was a small Trotskyist political party in Bolivia. The Workers' Vanguard was established by a dissident fraction which broke away from the Communist Vanguard of the Revolutionary Workers' Party in 1978.[1] It was led by Filemón Escóbar Escóbar and Ricardo Catoira Marín.[2] The VO took part in elections in 1979 and presented as its presidential candidate Ricardo Catoira Marín and Filemón Escobar as vice-presidential candidate.[3] In 1980 the VO took part in an electoral coalition Democratic and Popular Union backing Hernán Siles Zuazo.[4] In 1984, the Workers' Vanguard Party merged with the Revolutionary Workers' Party-Struggle to form the new Revolutionary Workers' Party-Unified.[5]
