The Co-ordinating Committee for the Refoundation of the Fourth International (CRFI) is a Trotskyist international organisation. Its name in Spanish is Coordinadora por la Refundación de la Cuarta Internacional. It was formed in 2004 at a conference in Buenos Aires called by the Movement for the Refoundation of the Fourth International. It has members in South America, Western Europe and the Middle East. The committee has nine members, two each from Italy and Brazil, and one each from Uruguay, Argentina, the US, Greece, and Israel/Palestine. They include Jorge Altamira and Marco Ferrando.
The Argentianian PO is the largest section of the CRFI and as such drew its international co-thinkers into the new tendency from other countries in Latin America. However the Workers Revolutionary Party of Greece and the International Trotskyist Opposition had different roots from the PO and its allies. The fusion of these groups provides the CRFI with small but real bases in both Greece and Italy.
Member sections of the CRFI are as follows:
- Workers' Party (Partido Obrero) in Argentina,
- Workers' Cause Party (Partido da Causa Operária, PCO) in Brazil,
- Workers Revolutionary Party (Ergatiko Epanastatiko Komma, EEK) in Greece
- Socialist Workers League in Israel/Palestine
- Revolutionary Marxist Association - Communist Project (Associazione marxista rivoluzionaria Progetto comunista) in the Partito della Rifondazione Comunista in Italy
- Workers' Party (Partido de los Trabajadores, PT) in Uruguay
- Workers Action in the USA
- Refoundation and Revolution group in Solidarity in the USA.
