The Ecosocialist Left (French: Gauche écosocialiste, GES) is a French left-wing political organisation formed by activists from Ensemble! and the New Anticapitalist Party. Founded as Ensemble Insoumis·e in 2017, it adopted its current name in 2022.[3]
History
The Ecosocialist Left was created as a rebranding of the Ensemble Insoumis·e current to highlight eco-socialism as its central ideology.[3] In May 2023, GES held a congress to formalize its internal structure, while remaining part of La France Insoumise with political and financial autonomy.[4] In 2024, it expanded locally in the Basque Country, absorbing Ensemble Pays Basque.[5]
Ideology
GES identifies as eco-socialist, anti-capitalist, and soft Eurosceptic. It advocates for feminist, antiracist, LGBTQI rights, and disability justice as part of its broader anti-capitalist and ecological program.[1][6] The party seeks systemic change combining ecological and social revolutions.[1][6]
Organization
The GES operates autonomously within La France Insoumise and has focused on regional development, particularly in the Basque Country.[4][5]
It is also connected to the initiative L'Après, founded by Clémentine Autain, focused on social and ecological experimentation.[7]
