Communist Party in Denmark (Danish: Kommunistisk Parti i Danmark) is a communist party in Denmark.
History
At the Communist Party of Denmark (DKP) party congress in 1990, the party chose to break from its historical ties to the Soviet Union and the former communist regimes in Eastern Europe. The founders of the KPID did not believe there was any reason for such a break or a change in policy. They also could not accept that the DKP formed electoral alliances with the Left Socialists (VS) and the Socialist Workers' Party (SAP). In 1989 these three parties formed the Unity List (Enhedslisten). As a result, the founders of KPiD split from the DKP and organized themselves under the label 'Communist Forum,' but after three years, on November 7, 1993, they changed their name to the Communist Party in Denmark.[2][3]
The KPiD is one of four active communist parties in Denmark. In the last few decades, various attempts of the DKP, the KPiD and the KP to form a unified communist party have failed. The last attempt failed in 2019. The main differences between the parties are on a personal, cultural and historical level. However the three parties differ little ideologically. The fourth communist party, the Workers' Communist Party (APK) refused to participate in the talks.[4]
Leadership
