Socialist Workers Front (Marxist–Leninist) (Spanish: Frente Obrero Socialista (marxista-leninista)) was a communist party in Panama. FOS(ml) was founded in 1973, following a split in the People's Party of Panama. FOS(ml) originated in the pro-Chinese 'Proletarian Wing' of PPP. FOS(ml) made its first public appearance on May Day 1973.[1]
FOS(ml) was mainly active in the students movement. It also organized the Asociación de Amistad con la República Popular China. FOS(ml) published Bandera Roja (Red Flag) 1974–1980.[2]
The general secretary of FOS(ml) was Enrique Castillero.
In 1980, FOS(ml) was dissolved following internal strife. One section would live on as the Communist Party (Marxist-Leninist) of Panama.[3]
