Communist Party of Denmark

Common card · No. 407966

The Communist Party of Denmark (Danish: Danmarks Kommunistiske Parti, DKP) is the main Marxist-Leninist party in Denmark. It was founded on 9 November 1919 as the Left-Socialist Party of Denmark (Danmarks Venstresocialistiske Parti, VSP), through a merger of the Socialist Youth League and Socialist Labour Party of Denmark, both of which had broken away from the Social Democrats in March 1918. The party adopted its present name in November 1920, when it joined the Comintern. The DKP was last represented in the Danish parliament (Folketing) in 1979. In 1989, on the initiative of the Left Socialists (VS), the DKP and the Socialist Workers Party (SAP) jointly launched a new socialist political party named the Red-Green Alliance (Enhedslisten).
