Agree

No, focus on ending tax evasion instead

Focusing on ending tax evasion is in line with the EPP's broader goals of fiscal responsibility and ensuring that all entities pay their fair share. This approach is consistent with their support for EU-wide measures to combat tax avoidance.

Slightly agree

Yes, and increase taxes

This approach aligns with the EPP's broader fiscal strategy that balances spending cuts with revenue increases, though they typically prefer tax policies that do not heavily burden economic growth.

Slightly agree

No, increase taxes on large multinational corporations instead

Increasing taxes on large multinational corporations could be seen as a way to ensure fair contributions to national economies. The EPP might support this in certain contexts, especially if it aligns with broader EU efforts to combat tax avoidance and ensure fiscal justice.

Neutral

No, increase taxes on the wealthy instead

The EPP might be open to the idea of increasing taxes on the wealthy as part of a broader fiscal strategy, but this is not their primary approach to handling national debt, as they generally prefer broader tax policies that encourage investment and economic growth.

Neutral

No, reduce the number of government officials instead

Reducing the number of government officials could be considered as part of broader administrative reforms.

Slightly disagree

No, cuts to public spending will negatively affect the economy

The EPP recognizes the importance of economic stability and might be cautious about cuts that could negatively affect the economy. However, their commitment to fiscal responsibility means they might still consider some cuts necessary.

Slightly disagree

Yes, but by drastically reducing the benefits and salaries of government officials

While the EPP is committed to fiscal responsibility, targeting the benefits and salaries of government officials specifically is not a central aspect of their policy platform. They are more likely to support comprehensive fiscal reforms.

Disagree

No

Disagree

No, reduce military spending instead

Strongly disagree

Yes, and eliminate federal agencies that are unconstitutional

The concept of eliminating federal agencies as unconstitutional is more aligned with American conservative rhetoric than with European political discourse. The EPP focuses on efficiency and subsidiarity within EU institutions rather than on constitutional grounds for agency existence.
