== History ==
=== Formation ===
In 1995, the enlargement of the [[European Union]] led to the creation of the [[Nordic Green Left Alliance|Nordic Green Left]] (NGL) group of parties. The NGL merged with the [[European United Left (1994–95)|Confederal Group of the European United Left]] (GUE) on 6 January 1995,<ref name="t1s4"/> forming the Confederal Group of the European United Left/Nordic Green Left.<ref name="t1s5">{{cite web|url=http://www.europarl.europa.eu/groups/accounts_en.htm|title=Political Groups Annual Accounts 2001–2006|publisher=European Parliament|access-date=18 June 2010}}</ref><ref name="t1s6">{{cite web|url=http://www.europarl.europa.eu/election/results/legende.htm|title=Group names 1999|publisher=European Parliament|access-date=18 June 2010}}</ref><ref name="t1s40">{{cite web|url=http://www.europarl.europa.eu/members/archive/term4/view.do?language=EN&id=1033|title=European Parliament profile of Alonso José Puerta|publisher=European Parliament|access-date=18 June 2010}}</ref> The NGL suffix was added to the name of the expanded group at the insistence of Swedish and Finnish MEPs.<ref name="RaunioTiilikainen2013">{{cite book|author1=Tapio Raunio|author2=Teija Tiilikainen|author-link2=Teija Tiilikainen|title=Finland in the European Union|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=wzkF4lCzIJ4C&pg=PA59|date=5 September 2013|publisher=Routledge|isbn=978-1-135-76204-9|page=59}}</ref> The group initially consisted of MEPs from the Finnish [[Left Alliance (Finland)|Left Alliance]], the Swedish [[Left Party (Sweden)|Left Party]], the Danish [[Socialist People's Party (Denmark)|Socialist People's Party]], the [[United Left (Spain)|United Left of Spain]] (including the [[Communist Party of Spain|Spanish Communist Party]]), the [[Synaspismos]] of Greece, the [[French Communist Party]], the [[Portuguese Communist Party]], the [[Communist Party of Greece]], and the [[Communist Refoundation Party]] of Italy.

In 1998 [[Ken Coates]], an MEP expelled from the [[Labour Party (UK)|UK Labour Party]] and who co-founded the [[Independent Labour Network]], joined the group.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://cise.luiss.it/cise/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/DCISE6EN_73-78.pdf|title=From the Italian Communist Party to Tsipras: The path of Europe's radical left|last=Izzo|first=Federica|date=25 April 2014|website=CISE}}</ref>

In 1999 the German [[Party of Democratic Socialism (Germany)|Party of Democratic Socialism]] (PDS) and the Greek [[Democratic Social Movement]] (DIKKI) joined as full members, while the five MEPs elected from the list of the French Trotskyist alliance [[Lutte Ouvrière|LO]]–[[Revolutionary Communist League (France)|LCR]] and the one MEP for the Dutch [[Socialist Party (Netherlands)|Socialist Party]] joined as associate members.

In 2002 four MEPs from the French [[Citizen and Republican Movement]] and one from the Danish [[People's Movement against the EU]] also joined the group. In 2004 no MEPs were elected from LO–LCR and DIKKI — which was undergoing a dispute with its leader over the party constitution — and the French [[Citizen and Republican Movement]] did not put forward candidates. MEPs from the Portuguese [[Left Bloc (Portugal)|Left Bloc]], the Irish [[Sinn Féin]], the [[Progressive Party of Working People]] of Cyprus, and the [[Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia]] joined the group. The Danish [[Socialist People's Party (Denmark)|Socialist People's Party]], a member of the Nordic Green Left, left the group to instead sit in the [[Greens–European Free Alliance]] group.{{citation needed|date=June 2024}}

In 2009 no MEPs were elected from the Italian [[Communist Refoundation Party]] and the Finnish [[Left Alliance (Finland)|Left Alliance]]. MEPs from the Irish [[Socialist Party (Ireland)|Socialist Party]], the [[Socialist Party of Latvia]], and the French [[Left Party (France)|Left Party]] joined the group.{{citation needed|date=June 2024}}

In 2013 one MEP from the [[Croatian Labourists – Labour Party]] also joined the group. In 2014 no MEPs were elected from the Irish [[Socialist Party (Ireland)|Socialist Party]], the [[Socialist Party of Latvia]], and the [[Croatian Labourists – Labour Party]]. MEPs from the Spanish [[Podemos (Spanish political party)|Podemos]] as well as [[EH Bildu]] and the Dutch [[Party for the Animals]] joined the group, while MEPs from the Italian [[Communist Refoundation Party]] and the Finnish [[Left Alliance (Finland)|Left Alliance]] re-entered parliament and rejoined. The [[Communist Party of Greece]], a founding member of the group, decided to leave and instead sit as [[Non-Inscrits]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://inter.kke.gr/en/articles/Statement-of-the-Central-Committee-of-the-KKE-on-the-stance-of-the-KKE-in-the-EU-parliament/|title=Communist Party of Greece – Statement of the Central Committee of the KKE on the stance of the KKE in the EU parliament|access-date=24 February 2015}}</ref>

In 2019 no MEPs were elected from the [[French Communist Party]], the Danish [[People's Movement against the EU]], the Dutch [[Socialist Party (Netherlands)|Socialist Party]], and from the Italian parties [[The Left (Italy)|The Left]] and the [[Communist Refoundation Party]]. MEPs from the French [[La France insoumise]], the Belgian [[Workers' Party of Belgium]], the German [[Human Environment Animal Protection Party]], the Irish [[Independents 4 Change]], and the Danish [[Red–Green Alliance (Denmark)|Red-Green Alliance]] joined the group.

=== 10th European Parliament (2024–present) ===
In 2024 MEPs from the Italian parties [[Italian Left]] and [[Five Star Movement]] joined the group.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-06-26 |title=Ilaria Salis e Mimmo Lucano si presentano al Parlamento Ue |url=https://www.eunews.it/2024/06/26/ilaria-salis-mimmo-lucano-ue/ |access-date=2024-07-04 |language=it-IT}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=MSN |url=https://www.msn.com/it-it/notizie/politica/il-movimento-cinque-stelle-%C3%A8-entrato-a-far-parte-del-gruppo-della-sinistra-al-parlamento-europeo/ar-BB1ppleT |access-date=2024-07-04 |website=www.msn.com}}</ref>

== Positions ==
According to its 1994 constituent declaration, the group is opposed to the present [[European Union]] political structure, but it is committed to integration.<ref name="guengl">{{cite web|url=http://www.guengl.eu/|title=GUE/NGL Site|publisher=Guengl.eu|date=14 July 1994|access-date=28 May 2014}}</ref> That declaration sets out three aims for the construction of another European Union, the total change of institutions to make them fully democratic, breaking with neoliberal [[monetarist]] policies, and a policy of co-development and equitable cooperation.{{Citation needed|reason=Reliable source needed for the whole sentence.|date=April 2024}} The group wants to disband the [[North Atlantic Treaty Organization]] (NATO), and strengthen the [[Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe]] (OSCE).{{Citation needed|reason=Reliable source needed for the whole sentence.|date=March 2022}}{{Update inline|date=March 2022|reason=changes in NATO/OSCE position following Russo-Ukrainian war}}

The group is divided between reformism and revolution, leaving it up to each party to decide on the manner they deem best suited to achieve their aims. As such, it has simultaneously positioned itself as insiders within the [[European institutions]], enabling it to influence the decisions made by [[co-decision]]; and as outsiders by its willingness to seek another Europe, which would abolish the [[Maastricht Treaty]].<ref>{{Cite book|last1=Edinburgh|first1=Luke March, Professor of Post-Soviet and Comparative Politics, the University of|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=B-LaDwAAQBAJ&q=reformism+and+revolution%2C+nordic+green+left&pg=PA8|title=Europe's Radical Left: From Marginality to the Mainstream?|last2=Keith|first2=Daniel|date=2016-10-20|publisher=Rowman & Littlefield|isbn=978-1-78348-537-6|language=en}}</ref><!--<ref name="Trechsel2013">{{cite book|author=Alexander H.

GUE/NGL has been split on the issue of Russia. On 1 March 2022, 7 MEPs out of the group's 37 voted against the parliament's resolution condemning the [[Russian invasion of Ukraine]], while 10 also abstained in the vote that passed 637–14.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-03-02 |title=We asked 13 MEPs why they voted no to condemn Russia's war in Ukraine |url=https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2022/03/02/meps-were-asked-to-condemn-russia-s-invasion-of-ukraine-13-voted-no-here-s-why |access-date=2024-05-29 |website=euronews |language=en}}</ref> Even before the war, there have been tensions in the group, especially with the Irish MEPs [[Mick Wallace]] and [[Clare Daly]] working to defuse sanctions on Russia placed because of the downing of the [[Malaysia Airlines Flight 17]].<ref>{{Cite news |title=Tensions rise over Mick Wallace's and Clare Daly's views |url=https://www.irishtimes.com/news/politics/tensions-rise-over-mick-wallace-s-and-clare-daly-s-views-1.4610010 |access-date=2024-05-29 |newspaper=The Irish Times |language=en}}</ref>
