The Party for the Victory of the People (Spanish: Partido por la Victoria del Pueblo; PVP) is a Uruguayan anti-capitalist political party. Founded by members of the Uruguayan Anarchist Federation (FAU) in the wake of the 1973 coup d'état, the party dedicated itself to resisting the country's civi-military dictatorship. It was subjected to extreme political repression under Operation Condor, with many of its members being tortured, killed and disappeared from 1976 to 1978. After the transition to democracy, the party joined the Broad Front and participated in the country's elections, while the families of its disappeared members sought justice against the officers of the dictatorship. It held one seat in the Chamber of Deputies during the presidencies of José Mujica and Tabaré Vázquez.
