The Andalusian Social Liberal Party (Spanish: Partido Social Liberal Andaluz; PSLA) was a political party in Andalusia. The party was led by Manuel Clavero Arévalo, Deputy Minister of the Regions.[1][2] The party advocated regional autonomies, but not a federal state.[3]

History

The party was launched at a meeting in Seville December 12, 1976.[2] The founding congress of the PSLA was held in Seville January 21–22, 1977, which elected a regional committee. Clavero Arévalo was elected chairman of the party and Antonio José Delgado general secretary. The party congress declared that the party sought alliances with other centrist forces.[3] In July 1977 the historian Manuel Ruiz Lagos, founder and regional committee member of the PSLA, resigned from the party.[1] The PSLA joined the Union of the Democratic Centre (UCD) electoral coalition ahead of the 1977 Spanish general election[4] and would merge into the UCD upon its constitution as a unitary party in December 1977.[5][6]
