The Central Eastern European Green Left Alliance (CEEGLA) is an alliance of left-wing and green organizations and political parties in Central and Eastern Europe. It was officially launched on 12 January 2024 in Warsaw.[1]

Ideology[edit]

At the launch event, Claudiu Crăciun of the Democracy and Solidarity Party stated that "We realized that we live in different worlds and that the left-wing world — Western, South, and Northern — they have different views [on the Russian invasion of Ukraine], and we feel that we have a world here. It’s a European periphery that had independence and sovereignty as major stakes during the nineteenth and the twentieth century, and we know a bit something about...Russian influence in every form."[2]

The organization has been described as a shared political home for pro-European left-wing political parties in Central and Eastern Europe, emphasizing regional cooperation.[2]
