The Party of the Cuban People – Orthodox (Spanish: Partido del Pueblo Cubano – Ortodoxos, PPC-O), commonly shortened to the Orthodox Party (Spanish: Partido Ortodoxo), was a Cuban populist political party. It was founded in 1947 by Eduardo Chibás in response to government corruption and lack of reform. Its primary aims were the establishment of a distinct national identity, economic independence and the implementation of social reforms.
Chibás left the Partido Revolucionario Cubano (Auténtico) to found his own: the left populist Partido del Pueblo Cubano (The Cuban People's Party) or 'Ortodoxos' [...] The Ortodoxos and the Auténticos were parties that combined centre-left policies with an (economic) nationalist tendency.
Castro had been a follower of the Partido Ortodoxo which was a nationalist organisation who put their faith in the 1940 constitution.
The Partido Ortodoxo (Orthodox Party) also known as the Partido del Pueblo Cubano (Party of the Cuban People). It was founded in 1947 by Eduardo Chibs. Its main platform was opposition to corruption.
In 1947, Castro joined a newly founded socialist party, the Party of the Cuban People (Partido Ortodoxo), which had been formed by veteran politician Eduardo Chibás (1907 – 1951). [...] His hopes for Cuba still largely centered around Eduardo Chibás and his left wing Partido Ortodoxo
In the 1940s, he joined the left-wing political party Partido Ortodoxo, hoping that he could help free Cuba from its status as a playground for American corporate interests.
Inspired by Fidel Castro, left-wing units such as the Federación Estudiantil Universitaria, Orthodoxos, and Association of Young Rebels (AJR) challenged the more conservative Trinchera and Directorio Revolucionario Estudiantil who favored more moderate reforms.
