For this purpose, we proceed to examine through relevant testimonies and reports the organizational function provided to the PCE by Codovilla, historical leader of the Communist Party of Argentina (PCA) and member of the Executive Committee of the Communist International. The role of Codovilla results, as demonstrated in the text, fundamental to explaining the work of the PCE for its conversion into a mass party. The leader of the PCA in Spain imported a form of top-down centralization, subject to Moscow and contrary to any possibility of dissident expression, which a few years earlier had become a standard practice in the political life of the Argentine section From our perspective, thus, Codovilla was within the PCE the bearer of a logic that was pre-established in his own party. Este artículo intenta reconstruir algunos de los aspectos centrales del trabajo de reorganización del Partido Comunista de España (PCE) llevado adelante por Victorio Codovilla. A tal efecto, se procede a examinar a partir de testimonios y memorias relevantes la función organizativa prestada al PCE por Codovilla, líder histórico del Partido Comunista Argentino (PCA) y miembro del Comité Ejecutivo dela Internacional Comunista.El rol de Codovilla resulta, según se demuestra en el texto, fundamental a la hora de explicar el trabajo realizado por el PCE para su conversión en un partido de masas. El dirigente del PCA llevó a cabo en España la importación de una forma de centralización verticalista, supeditada a Moscú y contraria a toda posibilidad de expresión disidente, que unos pocos años antes se había convertido en una práctica normalizada en la vida política de la sección argentina. En nuestra perspectiva, de este modo, Codovilla fue dentro del PCE el portador de una lógica que se hallaba preestablecida en su partido de pertenencia. Facultad de Filosofía y Humanidades.
