Andalusian Left (in Spanish: Izquierda Andaluza; IA) is an Andalusian nationalist and socialist political party in Andalusia. The party is currently inactive.
IA emerged in 1998 as a split of the United Left, from a current of opinion within the coalition called Andalusian Left Collective. IA participated in several electoral processes (like the general and regional elections of 2000), sometimes in coalitions (with the Greens of Andalusia in the elections to the European Parliament of 1999 in the coalition Greens - The Peoples' Left) or with the Socialist Party of Andalusia. [1] In 2008 IA joined the Andalusian Coalition . [2]
Andalusian nationalism is the nationalism that asserts that Andalusians are a nation and promotes the cultural unity of Andalusians. In the past it was considered to be represented primarily by the Andalusian Party. However, the party disbanded in 2015; there are also lesser political organisations that identify with Andalusian nationalism. Some political forces without parliamentary presence like Nación Andaluza and Asamblea Nacional de Andalucía may be found advocating independence. There is also a movement defending the idea that Andalusian is not a dialect of Spanish, but a language of its own.
