The Other Europe

The Other Europe (Italian: L'Altra Europa), whose full name was The Other Europe with Tsipras (L'Altra Europa con Tsipras, AET),[3] was a left-wing political organisation in Italy.

[4] In the 2014 EP election the list obtained 4.0% of the vote, just above the 4% threshold, and 3 elects to the European Parliament: Eleonora Forenza (Communist Refoundation Party), Curzio Maltese (independent, later Left Ecology Freedom) and Barbara Spinelli (independent).

After the election, they joined the European United Left–Nordic Green Left (GUE/NGL) Group.

[5] In July 2015 two senators, Fabrizio Bocchino and Francesco Campanella, elected in the 2013 general election with the Five Star Movement and later founding members of the short-lived Italy Work in Progress party, launched a sub-group named "The Other Europe with Tsipras" within the Mixed Group of the Senate.

AET was founded on 5 March 2014 in Rome by some Italian intellectuals, Andrea Camilleri, Paolo Flores d'Arcais, Luciano Gallino, Marco Revelli, Barbara Spinelli and Guido Viale.
