Party of the Communists of Catalonia (in Catalan: Partit dels i les Comunistes de Catalunya) is a communist party in Catalonia. PCC was formed in April 1982 by the pro-Soviet fraction of the Unified Socialist Party of Catalonia (PSUC). The formation of PCC was the peak of a long and intense struggle within PSUC between the pro-Soviet and Eurocommunist sections of the party. The pro-Soviet section were often nicknamed ‘Afghans’ due to their support of the Soviet line of the war in Afghanistan.
