The Gamacists (Spanish: Gamacistas) were a political faction within the Liberal Party led by Germán Gamazo. They split from the party in October 1898 following the Ribot scandal—a controversy involving Cádiz governor and Gamazo's ally Pascual Ribot—which Gamazo attributed to an internal conspiration within the Liberal party to get rid of him as Development minister.[1][2][3][4] Among its members were future prime minister and Conservative leader Antonio Maura, son-in-law of Gamazo, as well as other notorious liberal MPs.[5][6][7]
After Gamazo's death in 1901, it eventually merged into the Liberal Conservative Party of Francisco Silvela in 1902.[8]
