Euskal Ezkerra (EuE, English: Basque Left) was a political party in Euskadi, Spain. EuE was formed as break-away from Euskadiko Ezkerra in 1993 when EuE merged with Spanish Socialist Workers' Party.

History

Soon after themselves merged with Eusko Alkartasuna, a social-democratic Basque nationalist party, but because of the bad results in the 1993 Spanish general election they broke the coalition[1] and soon afterwards Euskal Ezkerra was dissolved and some of their members continued taking part in other parties. The EuE implosion was, in a way, a precedent for what happened with Basque politics in 1998, when the Pact was launched of Estella and national frontism.[2]
