The Left in the European Parliament (The Left) is a left-wing political group of the European Parliament established in 1995.[9][4] Prior to January 2021 it was named the European United Left/Nordic Green Left (French: Gauche unitaire européenne/Gauche verte nordique, GUE/NGL).[10]

The group is mainly composed of democratic socialist parties, as well as some communist parties and the Italian Five Star Movement.[1][2][14]
