History

Izquierda Asturiana was founded in 1992 [1] by former members of the Unidá Nacionalista Asturiana. In the European Parliamentary elections of 2004, they made contact with Andecha Astur but could not agree on a platform, so they ran separate candidates.[ citation needed ]

In the 2015 Spanish general election they were a part of the Popular Unity coalition. [2] They were part of a coalition pact with United Left of Asturias in the 2019 Asturian regional election, [3] and in the 2023 Asturian regional election, Más País was added to form Convocatoria por Asturias.

Ideology

Among the party's objectives is the defense of the Asturian language, as well as the promotion of Asturian leftist politics without the influence of an outside party.
