 Chesnais on the Birth of the POR
Thus Lechí n was the indispensable screen between the masses and their own power, the road to which had been opened by the existence of the COB and by the mobilisation of the masses themselves for their own aims.
In the internal bulletin which he wrote after his return, Lora made clear that he had voted against the main document put forward by Pablo and that he had defended these positions during the meetings of the Latin-American Commission which met after the Congress.
Lora writes 'A group of Trotskyist militants, some of them being very able and having great influence in the Unions, went into the MNR under the pretext of carrying out revolutionary work inside the mass party'.

 OMEGA 7 Cuban Exile Anti-Castro Organization
For instance, in 1964, Guillermo and Ignacio Novo, members of the CNM, fired a bazooka at the United Nations building while hero of the Cuban revolution, Ernesto "Che" Guevara, was delivering a speech.
According to Arocena, Guillermo Novo, leader of the CNM during the mid-1970s, knew that Arocena and others were members of Omega 7; however, in an effort to confuse law enforcement authorities, the CNM claimed that it was Omega 7.
Arocena also apparently believed that Guillermo Novo (supra), who was involved in the Letelier assassination in 1976, had identified him as the leader of Omega 7 to law enforcement authorities as early as 1979.

 International Socialism: Bolivia: the rising of the people
Lechín and Lora were arrested in 1949, and an occupation of the Catavi mine ended with the murder of 300 workers.
For Lora and the POR, the dominant position of the COB guaranteed their continuing control of the situation.
Lora described him as ‘incarnating the radicalism of the masses’.17 The POR saw him as sympathetic to their positions, and relied on him to carry the politics of workers’ power into the cabinet.

 cubantrotskyism.net (v1.0) - Thesis, Chapter One
For those who seek to challenge Left counsellors who have abandoned a class-based analysis in presenting themselves as 'hostages' to Stalinism,(7) a further justification for this research project is that by clarifying the history of a dissident communist current it will contribute to the re-founding of a revolutionary Marxist movement in Cuba.
As Guillermo Lora has observed, "[o]ne of the weaknesses of Latin American Trotskyism is that it has lost its own tradition, it does not know its history, which often leads it to repeat old mistakes."(8)
Moreover, this study of Cuban Trotskyism is important not only because it retraces a tradition which has been 'lost' to socialists and Trotskyists alike, but because it does so in the context of substantial social and political upheaval, first during the defeated Revolution of the 1930s and then after the triumph of the 1959 Revolution.

 Gerry Healy - Chapter 8   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Healy’s search for international recruits to reinforce his faction in the IC was given urgency by the fact that the OCI was busy establishing fraternal relations with organisations such as Guillermo Lora’s POR in Bolivia.
On the eve of the pre-conference, Healy proclaimed a new, Irish section of the IC (acquired by imposing a premature split on the League for a Workers Republic, with whom the SLL was holding discussions) in order to provide himself with another vote to use against the French.
Similarly with the POR, the Healyite documents accused Lora of capitulation to a nationalist wing of the Bolivian military, but were almost entirely devoid of suggestions as to what the POR should in fact have done.

 Villaran obituary
The POMR was very much influenced by Politica Obrera in Argentina (now the Workers Party) and Guillermo Lora's Bolivian Revolutionary Workers Party (POR) which played a significant role in the People's Assembly in 1971.
This action was the last straw that caused an international split with Lora and Altamira and a national split with Narrea and Alternativa Obrera, a group in which there were a few of the founders of the group that in 1987 would become Poder Obrero.
In 1979, after failing in its attempt to transform the constituent assembly into a soviet, the POMR decided to create its own "supreme soviet" with their members, supporters and friends.

It is a reply to an article in In Defence of Marxism No 1 "Characterising the USFI Today" by Chris Edwards.
This was itself a reply to the founding document of the Fourth Internationalist Tendency (FIT—not to be confused with the former US organisation of the same name) which contained the Bolivian Partido Obrero Revolucionario (Workers Revolutionary Party) led by Guillermo Lora.
This Trotskyist party had earlier achieved, in Bolivia, what Guevara had declined to even attempt to do: they had built a base among the Bolivian tin miners and other sectors of the urban working class.

 Bolivia Aflame - Workers to Power
Virtually the entire Bolivian left solidarized with the cops, even shouting “long live the uprising of the workers in uniform,” as did a leaflet by Guillermo Lora’s Partido Obrero Revolucionario (POR – Revolutionary Workers Party).
For its part, Guillermo Lora’s POR is calling for a new version of the Asamblea Popular (People’s Assembly) of 1971, a body which was not formed by electing delegates who could be recalled by the worker and peasant ranks, but rather by deals between the reformist and bourgeois leaders.
Trotskyist internationalism is the opposite of the old nationalist verbiage of Lora’s POR about reclaiming the “outlet to the sea,” and the silence of groups which don’t even mention the anti-Chilean attacks of the leaders.

 Bolivia's Banzer cedes power to a "technocrat"
The MNR, due to their own class interests, were organically incapable of defying Washington’s dictates.
The leaderships claiming to represent the miners and other workers that placed the MNR in power, including the centrist Partido Obrero Revolucionario (Workers Revolutionary Party) or POR, led by Guillermo Lora, subordinated the revolutionary struggle of the tin miners to the government of Paz Estenssoro.
When the country was gripped by revolutionary crisis once again at the beginning of the 1970s, the POR gave its backing to the left-nationalist Gen. J.J. Torres, whose regime paved the way to the rightist coup of General Banzer in 1971.

 Trotskyism vs. Bourgeois Nationalism
It will also be built in opposition to the national chauvinism that has long characterized even “leftist” politics in Bolivia.
Guillermo Lora’s POR largely focused its opposition to the dictatorship of Hugo Banzer in the 1970s on accusations that the latter had sold out the “fatherland” to Chile and Peru.
The POR also accused Banzer of betraying the “great national task” of regaining access to the sea—an implicit call for war to reverse Bolivia’s defeat by Chile in the late 19th century.

At 2 o'clock the next morning, the iron gates of San Pedro jail in La Paz creaked open, and 300 political prisoners jostled their way out into the darkness, some carrying little violins and chess sets that they had carved with penknives during confinements of as long as three years.
The most notable among the liberated men: Gustavo Stumpf, tall, blond leader of the right-wing Socialist Falange, and Guillermo Lora, bearded chief of the Trotskyite Revolutionary Workers Party.
The complete amnesty was a practical step toward holding general elections.
