The European Left Alliance for the People and the Planet (ELA) is an European political party that unites green left and feminist parties in order to build another Europe of cooperation, social progress and workers rights, peace, solidarity, equality, climate justice, environmental protection and sustainable development. We reject the neoliberal dogma and fight for an alternative to capitalism. We aspire to govern in the name of general human interest. We are committed to defend international law, democratic institutions and human rights. We are committed to a sustainable and inclusive future for all.
What we stand for

better jobs and wages
the right to housing
fair trade, not free trade
fight austerity and privatisation to protect public services
Europe for the People, not the lobbies

First congress !
The social, environmental and international crisis urgently call for a cooperation of European left forces that is more efficient than ever before. On June 13th and 14th, we gathered in Porto for our first congress with all our member parties’ leaders, political allies from Europe and beyond, trade unions and civil society, to join forces against capitalism and the far-right.
