The party was founded by [[Roberto Vaquero]], who also founded the [[Marxist–Leninist Party (Communist Reconstruction)]] (CR) in 2009. The party was temporarily outlawed in 2016 when Vaquero was arrested in 2016 for organizing the transport of Spanish militias to the [[People's Defense Units]] in Syria to fight against [[ISIS]]; Vaquero was also found to have ties with the [[Kurdistan Workers' Party]], which is considered a terrorist organization by the [[European Union]]. Vaquero was sentenced to 49 days in jail, and the party resumed activities in 2017, before Vaquero founded Frente Obrero in 2018.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.abc.es/espana/roberto-vaquero-candidato-frente-obrero-elecciones-europeas-20240609163000-nt.html |title=Quién es Roberto Vaquero, el candidato del Frente Obrero para las elecciones europeas |date=9 June 2024 |first=María |last=Carbajo |website=abc.es |language=es}}</ref>

^ A: The party argues that "the left-right dichotomy is no longer valid."[6] However, it has been described as left-wing by the international media,[7] national media,[8] regional media,[9] as well as political scientists.[10]

Workers' Front (Spanish: Frente Obrero, FO) is a left-wing[7][8][9][10] Spanish political party founded as a mass organization by the anti-revisionist party PML (RC) in October 2018 and registered as a separate political party in March 2019. As of 2024, it is headed by Roberto Vaquero. It considers itself a “patriotic and revolutionary movement that fights for and on behalf of workers, for and on behalf of Spain”, with the goal of implementing “drastic changes” in Spain and “ending the current regime”.[11] It is considered a communist formation[12] that adheres to Marxist-Leninism, but one with deeply conservative stances on social and cultural issues.[2]

History

The Workers' Front was established on October 14, 2018 at the Ateneo de Madrid as a front organization of the PML(RC).[13] Subsequently, the Workers' Front expanded to several cities in Spain, such as La Coruña, León, Ponferrada, Zaragoza, and Cádiz.[14]

The party was founded by Roberto Vaquero, who also founded the Marxist–Leninist Party (Communist Reconstruction) (CR) in 2009. The party was temporarily outlawed in 2016 when Vaquero was arrested in 2016 for organizing the transport of Spanish militias to the People's Defense Units in Syria to fight against ISIS; Vaquero was also found to have ties with the Kurdistan Workers' Party, which is considered a terrorist organization by the European Union. Vaquero was sentenced to 49 days in jail, and the party resumed activities in 2017, before Vaquero founded Frente Obrero in 2018.[15]

In 2021, the party participated in Okupas, a Spanish squatting movement. Frente Obrero occupied a prestigous builing in Mercado de Colón district in Valencia. It organized a food bank and the homeless shelter in the building, attacking the local government for not helping over 1000 homeless people in Valencia. The party also hung the flag of the Second Spanish Republic on the building.[16]

On June 12, 2022, their first congress was held. During the congress the decision to become a political party was approved by the members. Representatives from other organizations, such as the Polisario Front, spoke during the congress.[17]

In the 2023 Spanish general election, the party gained 46,530 and won no seats.[8]

In late 2023, the group announced they would be participating in the 2023 Spanish protests against the PSOE government.[18]

Since then, they, and especially their leader, Roberto Vaquero, have gained presence in social media and even national televisions in Spain, participating in debates on current political issues in programs such as Horizonte, on channel Cuatro.[19]

Ideology

Frente Obrero has been described as a party that describes Marxism-Leninism with conservative stances on social and cultural issues.[2] It has also been described as Stalinist.[20] However, despite being strongly connected with the PML(RC) and supporting far-left ideologies such as Marxism-Leninism, the FO is not explicitly communist. The party rejects the labels of political left and right, arguing that they "are two sides of the same coin".[6] However, it is considered left-wing by political commentators as well as political scientists.[7][8][9][10] The The European Conservative described the party as a representative of the "patriotic, pre-woke, pro-work left."[6]

In their program A Spain for the Workers, they defend national sovereignty, Hispanic identity, free university education, the nationalization of strategic economic sectors, energy sovereignty, nuclear energy, increasing the minimum wage, supporting the rural sector, promoting birth rates, creating more public housing, introducing rent control and limiting immigration.[21] The party also focuses on class struggle and a planned, communist economy. Frente Obrero also wants to preserve the "classical, Christian" culture of Spain, and supports Spanish republicanism.[22]

They oppose capitalism, the European Union, NATO, surrogacy, feminism, deindustrialization, queer theory, the Trans Law, affirmative action, islamization,[23] cosmopolitanism and political correctness.

The party opposes immigration, advocates strict border control and argues that the wages of Spanish workers are declining because of liberal immigration laws. However, the party also stresses that “immigrants are not to blame” and are “victims”, with the real culprit being “the capitalist system, which promotes this type of migration to exploit them and lower wages in Spain” and that “the most rancid right uses immigration to generate hatred and social confrontation”. Thus, the party recommends strict control of immigration, including the immediate expulsion of illegal immigrants.[20]

Frente Obrero is heavily critical of socially progressive left-wing parties. The party accused Podemos of being "a pawn at the service of big business and banks", while arguing that Más País is "leaving the workers on the street". Frente Obrero argues that the mainstream left-wing parties of Spain alienated the workers and caused the rise of the far-right Vox by embracing neoliberal ecoomics as well as "gender ideology".[24]

The party also opposes the independence of Catalonia, arguing that the pro-independence Catalan parties "do not even represent independence" and instead have "fostered Islamisation and mass immigration in Catalonia". The party calls for Catalan voters to reject "Islamisation and the fictitious separatist process".[25] The party instead proposes to turn Spain into a federation.[6] It also supports Spanish ownership of Ceuta and Mellila, and decries Moroccan claim to these cities.[26]

Criticism

The party has been criticized by other leftist organizations as transphobic because of denying the gender ideology and the idea that the gender (especially being a woman) is only a "feeling".

Moreover, they have considered it reactionary and racist because of being strongly opossed to the increasing presence of islamic immigration not integrated into European societies (sometimes non-respectful with women's or LGBT's rignts, other times linked to higher crime rates than the native population, or with violent events motivated by religious fanaticism).

In addition, they have been compared (negatively) to the right-wing party Vox[27][28] because of some coincidences in the aforementioned ideas.

It has also been accused of giving credit to the Great Replacement theory, despite the fact that it is a logical consequence of the combination of the current European demography and the current migratory patterns.[29]

In 2023, FO was accused of having received money from the Algerian government by Euromagreb. This was later denied by the party.[30]

The party has been called "left-wing VOX" given its conservative stances on social issues, such as its opposition to immigration, LGBT and feminism, as well as attacking the "islamization" of Spain and "gender ideology". However, Spanish political analyst Asier Balaguer Navarro rejects this claim, writing: "Yes, in the sense that many of its proposals, precisely those that coincide with the conservative party, have a lot of social resonance, and are easily assimilated by the electoral objective of the party; also yes, because of the confrontation with political correctness, defense of the unity of Spain or the rejection of the "woke laws". But that is where the similarities end. The Workers' Front is against the EU, it still has a communist base in which the public and the planned are a substantial part of its economic theories; it is openly republican, anti-NATO, secular..."[22]

Elections

The FO participated in elections for the first time in the 2023 Spanish local elections. They ran in Villalba de los Arcos, Santa Margalida, Mislata, and Mandayona, winning one seat in Mandayona.

Vaquero es el líder del grupo estalinista (de la rama proalbanesa) Frente Obrero. En sus vídeos, al criticar la postmodernidad en nombre del capitalismo de Stalin y de la contrarrevolución que masacró al proletariado y sus minorías revolucionarias en el pasado, nos ayuda a entender de un modo más claro aún lo falaz de la dicotomía postmodernidad-antipostmodernidad. Cuando todos estos autores reivindican a la clase obrera, en realidad, no están reivindicando al proletariado como clase revolucionaria, en el sentido de Marx y de nuestra tradición, sino a la clase obrera sociológica, explotada, reducida a los engranajes de la sociedad capitalista con sus patrias, su lógica productiva y obrerista. Su tradición es la del nacionalcomunismo, que tiene detrás de sí una larga historia.
