The Left (Macedonian: Левица, romanized: Levica) is a left-wing nationalist and eurosceptic political party in North Macedonia[2] founded on 14 November 2015.[3][4][5] Led by Dimitar Apasiev,[6][7] a Docent of Law at the Goce Delčev University of Štip,[8] the party is anti-NATO and promotes anti-clericalism, anti-fascism, anti-imperialism, and socialism, sitting on the left wing of the political spectrum.[9][10] They have a youth wing called Red Youth (Macedonian: Црвена Младина)

The Left has been described by some academics and news outlets as far left,[11] populist, "left-right-populist",[12] extreme,[13] a "satellite party" of right-wing nationalists[14] and "fascist"[15][16][17] for adopting some right-wing policies.[18] Reasoning include not being a proper left-wing populist party because it lacks their inclusivity, contradictions between official party platform and social media posts by Apasiev, and its perceived fascism being characterized as "a distorted form of left authoritarianism" due to its strong populism, which is reflected and utilized at all levels, and is notable even among populists.[15]
