The New Left group (French: groupe Nouvelle Gauche) is a parliamentary group in the National Assembly including representatives of the Socialist Party (PS).
The first socialist parliamentary group emerged in 1893 under the Third Republic, with the socialists remaining present in the Chamber of Deputies through the end of the republic in 1940, resuming within the National Assembly during the brief period of the Fourth Republic.
The first socialist group of the Fifth Republic was formed in the 1st National Assembly on 9 December 1958 with 47 deputies, under the name of the socialist group (groupe socialiste), and was re-formed with 66 seats on 6 December 1962 following legislative elections. On 3 April 1967, the Federation of the Democratic and Socialist Left group (groupe de la Fédération de la gauche démocrate et socialiste) was formed, consisting of 121 deputies. Following the poor performance of the FGDS in the 1968 legislative elections, with the group re-formed on 11 July 1968 including only 57 deputies, and François Mitterrand subsequently resigned on 7 November, followed by Guy Mollet on 22 December, marking the end of the FGDS. The associated FGDS group in the National Assembly, however, survived until its eventual dissolution on 3 October 1969, when the socialist group (groupe socialiste) was formed, with deputies transferring to the new group.
