Tuesday’s election to the Inatsisartut – the parliament of Greenland (Kalaallit Nunaat) – resulted in resounding defeat for the country’s left wing government parties and a landslide victory for liberal party Demokraatit. At the time of writing, many questions remain unanswered about who will form government and how the result will affect Greenland’s path to independence.
Enjoying a swing of over 21 percent, Demokraatit obtained 29.9 percent of all votes cast – more than three times their result in Greenland’s...

Caught between a Danish colonial past and threats from Donald Trump’s US, Greenland (Kalaallit Nunaat) will hold elections to its parliament, the Inartsiartut, today, on March 11. Greenland’s political status within the Kingdom of Denmark is difficult to explain, especially to those who are not from Denmark or its Northern Atlantic territories. Yet, understanding this dynamic is crucial to grasping what is at stake in Greenland’s elections.

The Danish state’s distinction between Danes, Western immigrants and their descendants as opposed to non-Western immigrants and their descendants isn’t a neutral classification—it’s a strategic tool used to justify discrimination.
One of the most powerful justifications for this is the narrative of "rescuing" minority women—especially Muslim women—from so-called negative social control. Clearly, this is not really about empowerment; rather, it is a way to sustain exclusion and marginalisation. By framing ...

In Sweden, there is an ongoing struggle over working conditions and hours, with women-dominated trade unions at the forefront. History shows that change is possible when the labour and women’s movements unite, but despite strikes and demands for shorter working hours, progress has been modest. With increasing economic inequality and a welfare sector on the brink of collapse, Sweden now faces a critical choice: further cuts or a fairer redistribution of time and resources. Will working-class men stand alongside women, or continue to uphold a system where ...

Co-chairs Ines Schwerdtner and Jan van Aken on the party’s remarkable comeback
When we announced our candidacy for the chair of Die Linke last summer, the situation seemed hopeless: the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW) had split from the party and we were limping into the state elections in eastern Germany. Last Sunday, only six months later, we won just under 8.8 percent in the federal elections. That was no coincidence.
The party congress in Halle already signalled the beginning of a transformation. The mood was great, ...

The 2025 German federal election, held some eight months ahead of schedule following the collapse of the governing coalition late last year, largely proceeded as expected, with losses for the coalition partners, gains for the centre-right, and big gains for the far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD). Only the impressive result for Die Linke proved to be a real surprise.
At 82.5 percent (+6.2 percent), voter turnout was significantly higher than in the last federal elections (2021: 76.4, 2017: 76.2). It would appear that social ...
