The Left (Czech: Levice, Czech pronunciation: [ˈlɛvɪtsɛ]) is a democratic socialist political party in the Czech Republic. The party was founded in 2020 as the result of the merger of the Party of Democratic Socialism and The Real Left initiative.

Ideology

The party is critical of the emphasis on economic growth in policy making, arguing that it "takes place regardless of human health, does not serve the development of education and "cultural maturity of people." And disrupts the harmony between humans and nature." They state that their long-term political goals are "incompatible with maintaining capitalist system based on profit maximization", which they seek to overcome using measures "that do not renounce the values of democracy, human rights and individual freedom".
