United and Alternative Left (Catalan: "Esquerra Unida i Alternativa", EUiA) is a political party from Catalonia, Spain. EUiA has 4000 members and it is the Catalan correspondent of the Spain-wide United Left ("Izquierda Unida").
It was formed in 1998 as a schism from "Iniciativa per Catalunya" (IpC). It comprises an alliance of Party of the Catalonian Communists, PSUC viu, POR, PRT-IR, PASOC, CEA and CLI. After competing in a series of elections with their former colleagues at "Iniciativa", the two parties agreed to run together as an electoral coalition. Currently, 3 out of the 12 MPs at the regional Parliament of Catalonia adscribed to the IpC-EUiA group are members of this latter party.
