Tunisian Communist Party
The Tunisian Communist Party was a Marxist political party in Tunisia. The PCT was founded in 1934 as the Tunisian federation of the French Communist Party, and was later converted into an independent organization. The party was banned by the Vichy regime in 1939, but after the Anglo-American liberation of Tunisia in 1943 it was able to operate legally again. It was banned again in 1962 and legalized in 1981. In April 1993, the PCT abandoned communism and changed its name to the Ettajdid Movement.
