History

The party was established in December 2016, thanks to the efforts of left-wing intellectuals and civil activists including Dragan Markovina, Zoran Pusić, Vesna Teršelič, Nadežda Čačinovič and Nikola Devčić.

In March 2017, the New Left of Croatia announced their coalition with the left-wing political party Workers' Front for the local elections in Split and Zagreb.[3]

For Zagreb Assembly Workers' Front and the New Left (Nova ljevica or NL) joined in with parties Možemo!, Zagreb is OURS (Zagreb je NAŠ!), Sustainable Development of Croatia - ORaH (Održivi razvoj Hrvatske or ORaH) and For the City (Za grad or ZG).[4] This is the coalition likely to stay for upcoming 2020 Parliamentary elections in Croatia.
