The European Left Alliance for the People and the Planet (ELA) is a European political alliance founded by feminist, green-leaning parties splitting away from the European Left party (EL).[2] It currently seeks to register as a European political party.[3]

The ELA consists of seven parties around the movement Now the People (NTP) formed in 2018. Their members tend to be newer, green-left leaning parties, and lament the dominance of traditional communist parties after the election outcome and the exit of three parties from the EL (Bloco de Esquerda from Portugal, Vasemmistoliitto from Finland and La France Insoumise from France).[4][5]
