Popular Unity - Insubordinate Left (Greek: Λαϊκή Ενότητα - Ανυπότακτη Αριστερά (ΛΑΕ - AA), Laïkí Enótita - Anipótakti Aristera, LAE - ΑΑ) is a left-wing[4][5] political party in Greece.

Popular Unity was founded on 21 August 2015 by twenty five parliamentarians formerly affiliated to the Coalition of the Radical Left (Syriza),[4] as a reaction to Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras' handling of the Greek bailout agreement of 2015.
