The Parti de Gauche (abbreviation: PG ; German: Linkspartei ) is a political party in France that was formed at the end of November 2008. The formal establishment took place on February 1, 2009. The party was led until 2014 by Jean-Luc Mélenchon , a former member of the Parti socialiste , and the former Green politician Martine Billard . Sometimes it is classified as left-wing populist .
When it was founded, the party was fed mainly from former supporters of the Parti socialiste, for whom the course of this party was no longer left enough, from civil rights and environmental activists and from communists . In March 2009 the Parti de Gauche took part in the election campaign of the Front de gauche , a coalition with the Parti communiste français for the European elections. In August 2014, Mélenchon and Billard resigned from the party's chairmanship; Mélenchon founded the La France insoumise party a little later , which is supported by the PG and with which an electoral alliance has existed since then.

Since its 3rd party congress in Villejuif in July 2015, the party has been led by two “coordinators”, Éric Coquerel and Danielle Simonnet. An executive branch of 24 members is at their side.
