'''Auzolan''' (''neighborhood labor'' in [[Basque language|Basque]]) was a political coalition in the [[Southern Basque Country]], created on 26 March 1983. It was a coalition between the [[Revolutionary Communist League (Spain)|Liga Komunista Iraultzailea]] (LKI), [[Langile Abertzale Iraultzaileen Alderdia]] (LAIA, one of the parties that founded [[Herri Batasuna]]) and [[Nueva Izquierda]] (a split [[Euskadiko Ezkerra]]<ref>[http://hemeroteca.abc.es/nav/Navigate.exe/hemeroteca/madrid/abc/1984/02/18/020.html «Auzolán, grupúsculo "abertzale" escindido de Euskadiko Ezkerra». ABC: 20. 18 de febrero de 1984.]</ref>), and had the support of the [[Communist Movement of Euskadi]] (EMK). The spokesperson of Auzolan was Bixente Serrano Izko.

==History==
In March 1983 Auzolan was presented, with the intention of presenting candidates in the [[Spanish municipal elections, 1983|municipal elections of that year]] in some municipalities of [[Navarre]], as well as in the [[Navarrese parliamentary election, 1983|elections to the Parliament of Navarre]]. In these elections Auzolan obtained 8,356 votes (3.46% of the total), but no seats, although the coalition exceeded by two thousand votes their rivals of [[Euskadiko Ezkerra]].

In the [[Basque parliamentary election, 1984|elections to the Basque Parliament]] the following year Auzolan presented a list headed by Iñaki Pérez Beotegi, ''Wilson''. Auzolan obtained 10,462 votes (0.98%) and no seats.

On May 30, 1986 Auzolan self-dissolved, but the [[Navarre|Navarran]] branch continued to exist, as [[Batzarre]].
