DescriptionTrotskyist, eco-socialist party dubbed Portugal's first "Nova Esquerda" or "New Left" movement. The Bloc was formed by merger of the Popular Democratic Union (Marxist), the Socialist Revolutionary Party (Mandelist Trotskyist) and Politics XXI, and portrays itself as a modern alternative to the Portuguese Communist Party. The Bloc is led collectively but has been 'coordinated' by linguist, actress and MP Catarina Soares Martins since November 11, 2012 [Bloco de Esquerda (BE); also known as O Bloco].
