Can’t speak for other European countries, but in Germany not present at all. The DKP (German Communist Party) is so small it’s almost irrelevant. The Left has some communist and anti-imperialist factions, but the party at large is getting pummeled in elections atm and as it’s doing so, it is moving even further to the right. Only hope is the very large (non-revolutionary) union movement. Other than that it’s an unorganized mess or one that’s organized/coopted by the right. Mainstream politicians already going ahead preemptively labeling protesters as far-right certainly doesn’t help either.

This is the thing i will never understand. From what i seen every reformist party, even when they win the elections, lose support because it is not radical enough. And every time it happens, instead of the obvious conclusion “we fucked up, betten not cater to libs but try to get our own electorate back” they move further right losing more and more until oblivion.
