New Left (Greece)

The New Left (NA; Greek: Νέα Αριστερά, romanized: Néa Aristerá, ΝΑ) is a centre-left to left-wing[2] democratic socialist[1] political party[3] in the Hellenic Parliament.

After the resignation of Alexis Tsipras as president of Syriza, and the subsequent election of Stefanos Kasselakis to replace him in September 2023, there was an internal crisis in the party.

This conflict eventually culminated in the withdrawal of the "Umbrella" faction from the party[8] and the removal of two MPs considered close to it (Peti Perka and Euclid Tsakalotos) on Kasselakis's orders on 13 November 2023.

[9] Ten days later, the "6+6" group[10] and nine MPs from it (Sia Anagnostopoulou, Effie Achtsioglou, Chousein Zeimpek, Nasos Iliopoulos, Dimitris Tzanakopoulos, Meropi Tzoufi, Ozgur Ferhat, Theano Fotiou, and Alexis Haritsis) withdrew from Syriza.

The foundation declaration summarised the fundamental positions of the party and announced the establishment of a Transitional Coordination Committee with 238 members.
