Izquierda-Ezkerra
Izquierda-Ezkerra (English: "Left", I–E (n)) was an electoral alliance in Navarre formed by United Left of Navarre (IUN) and Batzarre. It was established in January 2011 after Batzarre split from the Nafarroa Bai coalition. Batzarre accepted IUN's call to form a coalition along with Socialist local figures—the Plataforma Navarra por el Cambio—disgruntled with the Socialist Party's social policies and standing support to the conservative anti-Basque Unión del Pueblo Navarro (UPN). The Los Verdes-Grupo Verde ecologists joined them too.

In the elections to the Parliament of Navarre held on 22 May 2011, the coalition won three seats and 5.70% of the valid votes. The coalition defended an approach of "inclusion and coexistence", as opposed to exclusion and confrontational attitudes. The party also advocated for an alliance of leftist forces of Navarre and an end to UPN's on-off decades long tenure in office, as well as an understanding with leftist Basque nationalist parties. Its main strongholds lied in Pamplona and Tudela where it held the mayoralty between 2015 and 2019.
Ahead of the 2023 Navarrese regional election, IUN and Batzarre joined Contigo Navarra, a coalition with Podemos and other ecologist parties, thus effectively dissolving I–E (n).
