Portuguese Marxist–Leninist Committee (in Portuguese: ComitĂ© Marxista-Leninista PortuguĂȘs) was an anti-revisionist Marxist–Leninist communist party [1] in Portugal. CM-LP was formed in March 1964 by a group led by Francisco Martins Rodrigues. [2] Martins, who was a Central Committee Member of the Portuguese Communist Party, had split from PCP in January the same year. CM-LP was formed after the formation of the Popular Action Front, which existed parallel to CM-LP. [2]CM-LP published Revolução Popular.

In 1965 most of the leadership of CM-LP was imprisoned. In 1968 one section, representing most of the leadership that was not jailed, started the publication O Comunista. This group later merged into the Portuguese Marxist-Leninist Communist Organization (OCMLP).

In 1969 a second conference of another tendency is held inside Portugal, through the initiative of EduĂ­no Vilar. They started publishing Unidade Popular in March 1969. In 1970 they formed the Communist Party of Portugal (Marxist-Leninist).

In 1975 the PUP retook the name CM-LP.
