J. P. Dahlén
Jonas Petter Dahlén (also called "Dahlén i Kiruna", meaning 'Dahlén in Kiruna'; 14 November 1881 in Ragunda – 23 January 1938 in Jukkasjärvi) was a Swedish mine worker and politician.[1] Dahlén was elected to the second chamber of the Swedish parliament, from the northern constituency of Norrbotten, representing the Social Democratic Left Party.[1][2] He was one of seven members of parliament belonging to the Social Democratic Left Party. When the party metamorphosed into the Communist Party of Sweden upon adopting the twenty-one conditions of the Communist International, Dahlén was the sole parliamentarian that remained in the party.[2][3] He was re-elected in 1921 as a Communist Party candidate. He remained in parliament until 1932.[1][2] In October 1929, the Communist Party went through a major split. The group led by Karl Kilbom and Nils Flyg was expelled by the Executive Committee of the Communist International. The expelled grouping reorganized themselves as a separate Communist Party of Sweden. All communist parliamentarians, except for Dahlén, sided with Kilbom. Dahlén did however, after a few months of vacillating, join the Kilbom-led Communist Party.[4] References
