The Working People's Party (Spanish: Partido del Pueblo Trabajador or PPT) was a Puerto Rican socialist political party. It was founded on December 5, 2010, in the city of San Juan, Puerto Rico, by a group of activists, students, teachers, professors, union workers, actors, and public and private employees.[4] As of 2016, the party had no opinion on the issue of the political status of Puerto Rico, instead saying that they believe the decision should be made by the people of Puerto Rico in a referendum.[5]
The party was de facto dissolved in late 2016 after opting not to renew its registration, with most of its members joining the Citizens' Victory Movement.
