The tradition of May Day marches, a cornerstone of the left-wing movement's activism, continues to evolve, yet with noticeably shorter processions than those witnessed in the 1970s and 80s.

This year, demonstrators will once again take to the streets to advocate for leftist causes, simultaneously using the occasion to highlight the upcoming EU election.

Veteran protester Bengt Wentzel, who participated in his first march in 1970, reflects on the changes over the decades, noting the enduring spirit and the shifting motivations driving the demonstrators.

The blend of historical activism with contemporary political issues underscores the persistent relevance of May Day as a platform for political expression and mobilization.
