United and Alternative Left

United and Alternative Left (, EUiA) is a political party in Catalonia, Spain. EUiA has 4000 members and it is the Catalan correspondent of the Spain-wide United Left (IU).
It was formed in 1998 as a schism from "Iniciativa per Catalunya" (IpC). It comprises an alliance of Party of the Communists of Catalonia, Living Unified Socialist Party of Catalonia, POR, PRT-IR, PASOC, CEA and CLI. After competing in a series of elections with their former colleagues at "Iniciativa", the two parties agreed to run together as an electoral coalition. Currently, 2 out of the 12 MPs at the regional Parliament of Catalonia ascribed to the IpC-EUiA group are members of this latter party.
