Corriente Roja (Red Current or Red Stream in English language. CR) is a Spanish trotskyist political organization, adhering to the International Workers League – Fourth International in 2012. CR defends and supports social struggles, class independence and political gains of the working class in order to establish a republic of workers. CR proposes the construction of a socialist economy, based on workers' democracy and the traditions of the alternative labor movement. According to its mission statement, current Red describes itself as follows:
Corriente Roja will put in place an estrategy defined by its anticapitalist Marxist character, radically democratic, internationalist, ecologist and feminist
The organization is present in Madrid, Seville and Catalonia, and has some members in Galiza. In Catalonia Corriente Roja is called Corrent Roig, while in Galiza is called Corrente Vermella.
CR was formed as an internal current in United Left (IU) in 2002, characterized by the defense of communist values they thought had been lost in the progressive deideologization of IU. In 2004 the organization left the coalition.
Initially, its members were free to belong to other political parties, part of its membership being until June 2005 affiliated to the Communist Party of Spain (PCE). The most representative figure during this period was the exMP Ángeles Maestro. Currently the organization is part of the International Workers' League - Fourth International (IWL). The majority of those members of the PCE were expelled from the party in 2005 for supporting the Communist Party of the Basque Homelands (PCTV-EHAK) in the Basque elections of that year, and not Ezker Batua-Berdeak, the Basque affiliate of the PCE and IU.
