Socialist Workers Party (Panama)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Socialist Workers Party (Spanish: Partido Socialista de los Trabajadores, PST) was a Panamanian Trotskyist political party.

The PST was accorded legal recognition as a party in September 1983. It sought, unsuccessfully, to enlist the support of the People’s Party of Panama in an electoral front against "Yankee imperialism" in 1984. [1] The PRT vehemently opposed the Manuel Noriega-led coalition in 1984 and ran its own candidate, , for president. In 1990, after the overthrow and arrest of Manuel Noriega, the PST joined the United Patriotric Front to protest the U.S. intervention. [2] The PST was officially deregistered in November 1984.[3]
