The Limonese Authentic Party ({{langx|es|Partido Auténtico Limonense}}) is a political party in Limón, Costa Rica. PAL was founded on 17 August 1976 by Marvin Wright Lindo, a radical trade union leader with links to groups such as Socialist Workers Organization and the Workers' Party. It became a notable force amongst the banana plantation workers at the Atlantic coast.Rouquié, Alain/Arnaud, Hélène. Les Forces politiques en Amérique centrale. KARTHALA Editions, 1991. p. 55
