New Left (Croatian: Nova ljevica, NL) is a democratic socialist[3] and social-democratic[3] political party in Croatia.[4] It also promotes anti-fascism, environmentalism, and progressivism on social issues.
History[]
The party was established in December 2016, thanks to the efforts of left-wing intellectuals and civil activists including Dragan Markovina, Zoran Pusić, Vesna Teršelič, Nadežda Čačinovič and Nikola Devčić.
In March 2017, the New Left of Croatia announced their coalition with the left-wing political party Workers' Front for the local elections in Split and Zagreb.[5] They later formed a coalition, for the Zagreb Assembly elections, with Možemo!, Zagreb is OURS (Zagreb je NAŠ!), Sustainable Development of Croatia - ORaH (Održivi razvoj Hrvatske or ORaH) and For the City (Za grad or ZG).[6] The same parties formed the Green–Left Coalition for the 2020 parliamentary elections.
