The European Left Alliance has organised some seminars within the framework of the Vänsterdagarna/ Left Days. They will focus on experience and strategies to get to a government position, and on how to show solidarity to progressive movements in Ukraine. These sessions will also discuss how to communicate left-wing politics in a changing European political landscape, and hear from different experiences of leadership from left-wing parties in the Nordics.
Organised by the European Left Alliance (ELA), these seminars have a clear message: Europe needs a strong fighting Left that won’t compromise its values and will fight for an alternative project. And we are ready to build it together – a Europe that champions the interests of the many, not the few.
