Nyköping -The Social Democratic Workers Party (SDAP) and the People's Alternative for Nyland (PAN) have announced their plans to merge the two parties within an ''alliance'' that will become the main organizational vehicle of their parties in the future. Both parties have experienced a slow decline in recent years, although the SDAP did deliver some ministers and secretaries to the current government administration. Nevertheless, voters and prominent party members complained that ''the Left'' in Nyland was becoming invisible. Finally, the PAN and the SDAP decided to continue together under the name ''Nylander Popular Alliance'' (NPA). With the radical PAN being a part of it, the new movement will likely be decisively more leftist than the SDAP.

The negotiations were already under way for some years between the PAN and the SDAP, and were not always easy. The PAN is still often considered an authentically Marxist movement, while the SDAP abbandoned Marxism decades ago. Both parties could however succeed in finding common ground on a number of what they called ''fundamental principles'' which will form the basis of the NPA and its election platform in the future as well. The new party wants to be a ''people's party'', striving for ''Justice, Liberty, and Dignity'' for ''all who are different, but equal''. The new party prioritizes the needs of ''social, cultural, sexual, and ethnic minorities that together make up the majority of the people of Nyland and the world''. The SDAP primarily focussed on the economic needs of the ''working class'', but the NPA sees this as part of a ''broad, national, campaign'' for ''justice and dignity'' in Nyland, that involves ''cultural, social and political struggle'' against the ''neo-liberal forces'' that try to control the country and the people.
''We have to recognize that in this age, society no longer functions the way we used to think it did. It has changed in a fundamental manner. People have liberated themselves from the structures of the past. The individual has never been so autonomous and self-conscious before in history. But there are still many people being coerced into systems and structures against their will, because there are organizations that profit from that. Many people, Nylander citizens, live in permanent crisis. Our society sees crisis after crisis. There is nothing mankind cannot do. But currently we are heading towards a big wall at full speed. We have to change our course. We need to challenge and change such a system from the inside out, in order to create a society based on respect and recognition, which are fundamental for liberty and democracy to exist. They are fundamental if we want to have a future.'' one of the NPA's new leaders explained. ''The old SDAP was in decline because as a Social Democratic party, it was part of the old society that no longer exists anymore. The SDAP was guided by a political narrative that holds no meaning anymore in the present. The Nylander Popular Alliance is a new, broad political and social movement, that wants to contribute to the development of the present-day society, by fighting for human needs in all spheres. We need new ways of organizing our economy, new ways of organizing politics, new ways of organizing authority. We are at a crossroads in history. What we choose for today, will have an impact for many generations to come. Think of the environment, for a start. We can change things now. We can make improvements by starting to think about solutions. The old SDAP would present a formula to fix the world. The NPA instead wants to open up a dialogue with everyone who wants to be part of it and try to find solutions.''
The NPA will hold its first official and founding congress in three months, where the NPA will elect and announce a new leader who will run in the elections. Until the next elections in Nyland, the SDAP and PAN legislative factions will co-operate, but remain independent. The NPA will participate in their place in the next elections. Whether the NPA will also run for presidency is unknown.
