New Left (Croatia)

New Left (Nova ljevica, NL) is a social-democratic and democratic socialist political party in Croatia. 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. They later formed a coalition, for the Zagreb Assembly elections, with We can! (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). The same parties formed the Green–Left Coalition for the 2020 parliamentary elections.

The party leader and representative Ivana Kekin sat in the Unified European Left Group in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE).

, New Left is in the process of merging into Možemo, which is expected to be finalized by 2025. The decision to merge and shut down New Left came to the dismay, critique and departure of a number of the party's members.
