The Left in the European Parliament (The Left) is a left-wing political group of the European Parliament established in 1995.[6][1] Prior to January 2021 it was named the European United Left/Nordic Green Left (French: Gauche unitaire européenne/Gauche verte nordique, GUE/NGL).[7]

The group is mainly composed of political parties with democratic socialist, anti-capitalist, and Eurosceptic orientations, as well as communist parties and the Italian Five Star Movement.[8][9]
