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.
