However the state is still weak”, FEPS Secretary general Ernst Stetter said on in a seminar on Renewal of Social Democracy he attended on Monday 7th November at Sveriges Riksdag, the Sweedish national legislative Assembly. “Consequently the participative traditional democratic structures are being questioned by those who are suffering the most from the crisis, the unemployed youth.
