Izquierda Asturiana was founded in 1992[1] by former members of the Unidá Nacionalista Asturiana. In the European Parliamentary elections of 2004, they made contact with Andecha Astur but could not agree on a platform, so they ran separate candidates.[citation needed]
In the 2015 Spanish general election they were a part of the Popular Unity coalition.[2] They were part of a coalition pact with United Left of Asturias in the 2019 Asturian regional election.[3]
Among the party's objectives is the defense of the Asturian language, as well as the promotion of Asturian leftist politics without the influence of an outside party.
