The People's Socialist Alliance ( Arabic حزب التحالف الشعبي الاشتراكي, DMG Ḥizb at-taḥāluf aš-šaʿbī al-ištirākī 'Party of the People's Socialist Alliance'; Taallof for short ) is a left-wing party in Egypt that was founded in the course of the revolution in Egypt in 2011 . She belongs to the alliance “ The Revolution Goes On ”, which she played a key role in initiating after leaving the Egyptian bloc .
The People's Socialist Alliance emerged in April 2011 from a merger of the Socialist Renewal Group with former members of the post-communist National-Progressive Unionist Collection Party ( Tagammu ), who left it after disputes over the party position in the November 2010 parliamentary elections . The People's Alliance aims to be a broad alliance of radical to moderate leftists. Its membership includes many left-wing organizations; in August 2012, the People's Alliance merged it with the Socialist Party of Egypt.
