The Party for the Autonomy of Gibraltar (PAG) was a minority right-wing political party in Gibraltar founded on 7 September 1977. [1] It was led by Joseph Triay and advocated a rapprochement with Spain. It contended the 1980 election, without success. [2]
The PAG was led by Joseph Triay, a former member of the " Doves " in the 1960s and independent candidate in 1976 election. It asked for a settlement with Spain, with an autonomous status for Gibraltar under Spanish sovereignty [3] [4] (following the Autonomies approach in the territorial structure of Spain made possible by the Spanish Constitution of 1978). [4] It argued that it was pro-Gibraltarian and nationalist, and against the British colonial presence, seen as obstructing the development of the territory. On the other hand, its opponents labelled it as pro-Spanish and the "sell-out party". [5]
Joe Bossano, Chief Minister of Gibraltar between 1988 and 1996 has accused Peter Caruana, Chief Minister between 1996 and 2011, of having been an electoral agent of the PAG. [6]
It nominated three candidates in the 1980 election, [7] the Triay brothers and Tito Benady, [8] obtaining poor results. [2] Although the party still existed by the 1984 election, it decided not to contest. [9]
