Partido ng Bayar Obituary Veteran Argentine Trotskyist dies AS WE go to press news has reached us of the death of Nahue Moreno in Buenos Aires. Nahuel Moreno began his political activity in the early 1940s, devoting himself to work in the revolutionary movement in Argentina. At a youthful age, he adhered to the revolutionary Marxist views put forward by Leon Trotsky and the Fourth International. From that moment, he participated in the fight to build a revolutionary party in Argentina.
Moreno played a major role in the history of Argentine Trotskyism for more than 40 years. He took part in the Second and Third World Congresses of the Fourth International, which were held respectively in 1948 and 1951. At the Third World Congress, he participated in all the work of the Latin American Commission.
As a result of the decisions of the same Third Congress, his organization found itself outside the Fourth International. It formal. ly re-entered at the Reunification Congress of 1963. He played a leading role in the International until October 1979, when he was involved in a split provoked by different positions toward the Nicaraguan revolution.
In recent years, Moreno concentrated on building the Argentine Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS -Movement Toward Socialism), and the international grouping, International Workers' League: (LIT), in which the MAs is by far the largest organization.
Over and above the differences that have divided us, we join in the mourning of the comrades of the MAS and the LIT and pay homage to the memory of an activist who fought for more than 40 years in the Argentine and Latin-American workers' movement.
