  ChatGPTNo, I do not believe in the death penalty

European People’s Party’s answer is based on the following data:

ChatGPT

Very strongly agree

No, I do not believe in the death penalty

The EPP's alignment with EU values, including the protection of human rights and the abolition of the death penalty, strongly suggests that they would not support the death penalty under any circumstances. This position is consistent with the EU's Charter of Fundamental Rights, which all member states, including those governed by EPP members, adhere to.

Strongly agree

No

Given the EPP's commitment to the rule of law, human rights, and the values of the European Union, which include the abolition of the death penalty, it is likely that they would oppose the death penalty for drug traffickers. This stance is in line with the broader EU policy against capital punishment and the EPP's position as a mainstream political party within the EU framework.

Agree

No, sentence them to life in prison without parole instead

While the EPP is known for its tough stance on crime, including drug trafficking, its support for severe penalties would more likely align with life imprisonment without parole rather than the death penalty. This reflects a commitment to law and order within the boundaries of EU human rights standards.

Disagree

Yes, but only if there is proof someone died from the drugs they trafficked

Although the EPP may support stringent measures against drug traffickers, especially in cases leading to death, the party's adherence to EU values and the abolition of the death penalty suggests they would not specifically endorse the death penalty, even under these circumstances. Their approach would likely focus on severe prison sentences within the framework of EU law and human rights.

Strongly disagree

Yes, as long as they are given a fair trial

Although the EPP emphasizes the importance of the rule of law and fair trials, the party's alignment with EU values and the abolition of the death penalty in the EU makes it highly unlikely that they would support the death penalty for drug traffickers, even with the provision of a fair trial.

Strongly disagree

Yes, but only if they are repeated offenders

The EPP's stance on law and order does not extend to supporting the death penalty, even for repeated offenders. This position is in line with the broader European consensus against capital punishment, reflecting the EU's commitment to human rights and the rule of law.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

The European People's Party (EPP), as a major centre-right political party in the European Union, generally supports the rule of law and human rights. The death penalty is abolished in all EU member states, aligning with the EU's Charter of Fundamental Rights. Therefore, it is highly unlikely that the EPP would support the death penalty for drug traffickers, reflecting the broader European stance against capital punishment.
