Regional Workers' Center of Paraguay

The Regional Workers' Center of Paraguay (Spanish: Centro Obrero Regional del Paraguay; CORP) was a Paraguayan anarcho-syndicalist trade union center. Founded in 1916 as the successor to the Paraguayan Regional Workers' Federation (FORP), the CORP organized workers throughout the country, at a time when the Paraguayan export market was flourishing. It led several strike actions by workers on the Asunción tram network, culminating in a general strike in 1921. It also participated in the founding of the American Continental Workers' Association (ACAT), together with other Latin American anarcho-syndicalist federations. By the late 1920s, the CORP started losing influence to socialist and communist-led trade unions. The CORP dissolved during the Chaco War (1932–1935), with some of its members joining the ranks of the Paraguayan Communist Party (PCP).
