SAMAK
The Cooperation Committee of the Nordic Workers' Movement, better known by its abbreviation SAMAK, is a social democratic European political alliance gathering parties and labour councils in Nordic countries.
SAMAK consists of all social democratic parties and trade union organisations in the Nordic countries, including in Greenland, the Faroe Islands and Åland. The current president of the committee as of 2024 is Mette Frederiksen, the leader of the Social Democrats and Prime Minister of Denmark. Antti Rinne is the general secretary, and Kjersti Stenseng the chair of the board.
The committee was formed during the first Scandinavian Workers' Congress in Gothenburg in 1886.
