The Automobile Freedom Party (French reformed: Parti pour l'auto-liberté), abbreviated AFP (PAL), was a Gylian political party, part of the Non-inscrits bloc.
It was established in 1979, and was a "molehill party" — a single-issue party against some aspect of the Gylian consensus with a right-wing populist orientation. In this case, the party attacked the "anti-car bias" of Gylian public transport policy, and became an opponent of the growing Green Party.
It found some support during the wretched decade, entering Parliament in the 1980 and 1985 federal elections.
As a result of the dérive au droite, the party was shut down for anti-constitutional activities in 1989.
