The Coalition of The Left and Vesna (Slovene: Koalicija Levice in Vesne) is a political alliance in Slovenia, formed in mid‑2025 ahead of the upcoming parliamentary election. It unites the progressive The Left and Vesna – Green Party into a single electoral list.[1]

History

[edit]

In early 2025, increasing voices called for deeper cooperation between left-wing and green forces. Representatives of The Left and Vesna signed a cooperation agreement on 17 June 2025, launching a joint electoral platform as a "green‑left coalition of the future".[2][3]

Ideology and platform

[edit]

The coalition combines The Left’s democratic‑socialist orientation with Vesna's green and sustainable development focus. Their core objectives include:[4]

  • Climate justice and accelerated green energy transition
  • Strengthening public healthcare and education systems
  • Protecting workers’ rights and enhancing social security
  • Promoting participatory democracy and governmental transparency
  • Supporting feminist and inclusion policies
