The Party of Consumers for Freedom (French reformed: Parti des consommateurs pour l'liberté), abbreviated PCF (PCL), was a Gylian political party, part of the Non-inscrits bloc.
It was established in 1990, 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 Mathilde Vieira government's policies of reducing consumption for sustainability purposes, carried out by resource minister Aishwarya Devi.
Coming after the wretched decade, the party made efforts to avoid the radicalising drift that had provoked the dérive au droite. However, they still aligned with the Union for Freedom and Prosperity, reducing their appeal. They had limited success during the 1995 federal election, and did not perform much better in municipal and regional elections.
The party later succumbed to its right-wing drift and was a target for Front for Renewal of Order and Society entryism, causing it to be shut down for anti-constitutional activities in 2006.
