Izquierda Asturiana (IAS; English: Asturian Left) is an Asturian nationalist leftist political party of Asturias, Spain.

History

Izquierda Asturiana was founded in 1992 by ex-militants of the Unidá Nacionalista Asturiana who were not in agreement with the direction the party was taking. To this day they have not had any representation in the Asturian General Assembly. 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.

Its organization of young people is called Mocedá d'Izquierda Asturiana.

Ideology

Among the party's objectives is the defense of the Bable, as well as the promotion of Asturian leftist politics without the influence of an outside party.
