Izquierda-Ezkerra (I-E) is a progressive coalition in the constituency of Navarre, Spain. It was established in 2011 after the coalition Nafarroa Bai split. The coalition was founded after Batzarre accepted Izquierda Unida de Navarra-IUN's call to form a coalition along with Socialist local figures—the Plataforma Navarra por el Cambio—disgruntled with the Socialist Party's social policies and standing support to the conservative anti-Basque Unión del Pueblo Navarro (UPN). The Los Verdes-Grupo Verde ecologists joined them too.

In the elections to the Parliament of Navarre held on 22 May 2011, the coalition won three seats and 5.70% of the valid votes.[2] The coalition defends an approach of "inclusion and coexistence", as opposed to exclusion and confrontational attitudes.[3] The party also advocates for an alliance of leftist forces of Navarre and an end to UPN's on-off decades long tenure in office, as well as an understanding with leftist Basque nationalist parties. Their main strongholds lie in Pamplona and Tudela.
