Partido Comunista de Pontesi

The Partido Comunista de Pontesi (Communist Party of Pontesi) is a political party with marxist-leninist tendencies situated in Pontesi. It is a former guerrilla group whose leader is João Pedro Coli, known just as Coli.

History: from illegality to inactivity, from illegality to the party
The Red October Movement was formed in 3554, following the fall of the Conservative Republican Party. Since they were finally out of play, Coli and his mates could fight for socialism once again in Pontesi. However, he was not expecting the strong repression performed by the Ptnekai Rimsa Prta government. The group got inactive from 3558 to 3560, mainly due to the huge number of casualties. Coli then moved to the countryside of Dandratur, looking for peasants and farmers willing to fight against the fascist State. The operation was successful: 8000 men joined the 3000 guerrilla fighters and started massive confrontations with the Pontesian Army.

In 3562, the group had almost 35000 men and the support of 15% of all the population, according to data from the National Intel. The president had to negotiate with the Red October Movement in order to stop the bloodshed and, for the first time, was considered the creation of a political party. This possibility was intensified when the Workers Resistance, a big organization of urban workers led by Ricardo Andrade, joined the guerrilla, wich was now with 60000 members, approximately. Since the elections of 3564, the Head of State lost more and more popularity, until 3573, when the Ptnekai Rimsa Prta finally crashed and got inactive. There were no more parties in the country and Coli decided to stop fighting in an illegal way. He got tired of the guerrilla life, and created the Communist Party of Pontesi.

Party goals and plans for the nation
The PCP is currently focused in the construction of a legitim socialist state, which would revolutionize completely the country, from its name to its laws. The poverty is a real problem and it's a hard barrier to social and economic development. The main proposals of the party are the Three Reforms : Political Reform (complete revolution in the way the nation is governed. The name of the country will also change from Pontesi to Colingrado); Economical Reform (the economy will be completely nationalised, and the vigent economic system will be socialism); and the Cultural Reform (a total revolution in the culture, education, civil liberties, justice and media of the nation).
