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.
