History: 13-15 december of 1984 a "Communist Unity Congress" was held in Madrid. Partido Comunista de
España Unificado (PCEU, Unified Communist Party of Spain), el Movimiento de Recuperación del PCE (MRPCE, Movemento for the Recuperation of the PCE), el Movimiento para la Recuperación y Unificación del PCE (MRUPCE, Movement for the Recuperation and Unification of the PCE), Candidatura Comunista (CC, Communist Candidature) and some minor groups unified themselves, thus creating Partido Comunista (later PCPE). All these groups had surged from splits from the PCE during the 70's and 80's. Quickly after the foundation the party was reconginzed by some other CPs, such as the CPSU and other statebearing Eastern European CPs. The party was formed by those who were against Santiago Carillo's eurocommunist line in the PCE. The catalan referent of PCPE was initially PCC, but PCC later broke with PCPE.

PCPE participated in Izquierda Unida initially, but later they left this formation.
