The New Left was established in early December 2023, initially as an 11-member parliamentary group in the Greek Parliament. It further developed into a fully established political party, with local branches across the country and a strong presence in the trade-unions, the feminist movement, the youth struggles, as well as the human-rights movement in Greece. 

The New Left is a party of the radical, feminist and ecological Left and part of the progressive pro-European Left forces in Europe. We want to represent and strengthen the values of the modern European, democratic Left, setting social justice, climate justice and the strengthening of democracy and rights as the three main objectives of our political action, as presented in the Party’s  founding declaration.

The New Left is being part of the Left political family in Europe and the Party of the European Left.
