Socialist Congress

The Socialist Congress will be held on Saturday, January 20th, at Rúgbrauðsgerðin, Borgartún 6. The agenda is diverse; it covers regular general meeting tasks, the internal structure of the party, policy work, discussion on the reconstruction of the labor movement, possible candidacies for municipal councils, and the party's main tasks for the coming months. We look forward to seeing you and hearing your priorities.

At the meeting, there will be light breakfast, lunch, coffee, tea, and accompanying refreshments. Members are encouraged to stay all day, but they are, of course, free to come at any time and participate in part of the agenda.
