The Radical Left Front (Greek:Μέτωπο Ριζοσπαστικής Αριστεράς (ΜΕΡΑ), Metopo Rizospastikis Aristeras, MERA) was a coalition of political organizations and parties of the anti-capitalist, communist Left in Greece.
The Radical Left Front was founded in 1999 by New Left Current (NAR), the Maoist Revolutionary Communist Movement of Greece (EKKE), the Trotskyist Workers Revolutionary Party (EEK), Youth of Communist Liberation (NKA), Independent Communist Organization of Serres (AKOS) and independent left activists. In 2004, Alternative Ecologists affiliated itself to the Front. In March 2009, all components of ME.R.A. except for the E.E.K., together with the components of EN.ANTI.A. and unaffiliated fighters, founded ANT.AR.SY.A. After the formation of ANT.AR.SY.A., ME.RA.A. was destroyed.
