Alternatiba (English: Alternative), sometimes known as Alternatiba Eraikitzen (English: Alternative) in basque, is a socialist political party. It is active in Navarre and Basque country. Although, its bylaws also state that French Basque Country is under its political scope. Founded in 2009, Alternatiba was born as a critical tendency within Ezker Anitza, the Izquierda Unida (IU) affiliate in the Basque Country, opposing a participation in the Basque government along with the PNV and Eusko Alkartasuna. In 2009 this tendency broke away from IU and formed an independent party.
