The Nordic Green Left Alliance (; ; ; ; ; NGLA) is a left-wing party group in the Nordic Council, founded in Reykjavík, Iceland, on 1 February 2004. Initially founded by five parties representing Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Iceland, in 2009 two other parties from Greenland and the Faroe Islands joined the NGLA.
History
In the 1950s to 1970s, the Danish Socialist People's Party (F), the Norwegian Socialist Left Party (SV) and the Swedish Left Party – the Communists (VPK) were formed. These parties traced back to the old communist parties and were similar to eurocommunist parties in Western Europe. Similarly, the Finnish People's Democratic League and the Icelandic People's Alliance became eurocommunist.
After the 1995 enlargement of the European Union, European United Left/Nordic Green Left (GUE/NGL) was formed. In 2002, the People's Movement against the EU (N, which was backed by the Red–Green Alliance) left the Europe of Democracies and Diversities and joined GUE/NGL. Their ally, the June Movement, was only a member for a few months through Jens Okking before joining N like the Swedish June List, most of their MEPs were part of the Independence/Democracy group. Margrete Auken (F) did not join GUE/NGL opting for Greens-EFA instead in 2004. In 2009, the Faroe Republic and the Greenlandic Inuit Ataqatigiit were accepted as members.
