The current party was founded in 1992 after the Communist Party of Greece withdrew from an earlier project, also called Synaspismos (Coalition of the Left and Progress).
The party has members in the national and European Parliament. It claims to be the third largest party of local government in Greece. In the European Parliament they sit in the European United Left - Nordic Green Left group. Synaspismos is also a founding member of the European Left party.
The Coalition of the Left, of Movements and Ecology (Shorter: Coalition, Greek: Synaspismos, Συνασπισμός) is a Greek political party of the radical left.
Synaspismos is also a founding member of the European Left party.
Not by chance the leadership of Synaspismos was the architect and the most vigorous supporter of the left-right coalition government (government Tzannetakis) in 1989 and against the old “socialist” PASOK leadership.
In the beginning of the nineties the Synaspismos leadership participated at least in the first phase of the nationalist mobilizations for the exclusively “Greek” Macedonia.
Synaspismos seems to need such a type of collaboration in order to compete successfully against the CPG with its more left image.
