Green Left

The Green Left is a democratic socialist political party in Denmark. The SF was founded on 15 February 1959 by Aksel Larsen, a former leader of the Communist Party of Denmark (DKP), who was removed for criticizing the Soviet intervention in the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. Larsen aimed to create a third way between Denmark's US-oriented social democracy and Soviet-oriented communism, combining democracy with socialism. The SF entered the Folketing in the 1960 Danish general election, while the DKP lost its seats. The SF became involved in peace, anti-nuclear, and grassroots movements, advocating for independence from the Soviet Union.
