The Left Party's congress in Jönköping is set to be a battleground over its new party program, facing unprecedented criticism for being "vague and flabby." Despite updates to appease critics, including reaffirming its socialist and feminist roots, dissatisfaction remains, particularly over climate policies and perceived concessions to capitalism.

This marks the first major overhaul in 20 years, aiming to attract broader voter bases without restricting future coalition possibilities.

Critics argue the revisions make it resemble a "social democratic annex," diluting its socialist ideology.

The congress will consider nearly 1,000 motions, signaling a potentially transformative debate on the party's ideological direction..
