  • European Left in Movements and Governments

  • Seminar on the Socialist Forum in Stockholm, Saturday 28 November 2009, Stockholm, ABF-huset, Sveav

    The development of the European Left is very ambigious. In most countries it is on the defensive, with weak participation in social movements, and without parliamentary influence over the government. But in some cases it is the other way around.

    The Left is gaining strenght, is a driving force in and movements and/or is participating directly in national or regional governments. We have gathered some of the European Lefts more succesfull exemples to discuss strategies and lessons to be learned. And finally – what has happened with the announced organizational development in the Swedish Left Party.
