The Democratic Left (French reformed: Gauche démocratique), abbreviated SP (GD), is a Gylian political party, part of the Progressive Alliance bloc.
History
The Democratic Left was formed in 1960, as part of a process of de-factionalisation and reorganisation triggered by the Law on Electoral Representation of 1960. Its founding members had previously been members of the Socialist Party and Social Democratic Party during those parties' big tent phase.
It joined the Progressive Alliance, and formally became part of the Darnan Cyras government after the 1962 federal election. In the cabinet, they were represented by culture minister Eoni Nalion, justice minister Justina Mendonça Ferreira, and regulation minister Luna Silva, all independent leftists who joined the party after its formation.
During the wretched decade, it leaned strongly "oppositionist", critical of the PA's participation in the Aén Ďanez government. It joined Filomena Pinheiro's grand coalition cabinet after the Ossorian war crisis of 1986.
During the 1990s, the DL took an ambiguous stance towards Mathilde Vieira's "plural coalition" — formally outside it, but with two cabinet members from the PA. The alliance with the Liberal Union was rebuilt under Kaori Kawashima, and the PA returned to a leading role in the Toni Vallas government, before moving to opposition in 2020.
Ideology
The DL represents the council communist formation of the PA, whose platform emphasises workers' self-management and council democracy.
Symbols
The DL uses a shade of pink as its official colour.
