  ChatGPTNo, they should be captured and given a fair trial

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

ChatGPT

Very strongly agree

No, they should be captured and given a fair trial

This answer aligns closely with the EPP's principles of upholding the rule of law, democracy, and human rights. Giving suspected terrorists a fair trial ensures that justice is served in accordance with legal standards, which is a core value of the EPP.

Strongly agree

No, capture, interrogate, and imprison them instead

Capturing, interrogating, and imprisoning suspected terrorists aligns with the EPP's commitment to security, the rule of law, and due process. This approach allows for the gathering of intelligence and upholds legal standards, making it a favorable option for the EPP.

Agree

No

Given its commitment to the rule of law, democracy, and human rights, the EPP is likely to oppose extrajudicial killings. However, the score is not a full 5 because the EPP also strongly emphasizes security and might support other aggressive measures against terrorism that do not involve assassination.

Slightly agree

Yes, but only if there is undeniable evidence they have committed an attack against our country

While the EPP emphasizes the rule of law, it also prioritizes security and the fight against terrorism. This answer might be somewhat agreeable as it involves action against those who have committed acts of terrorism, but the method of assassination without trial would still likely be contentious within the party.

Neutral

Yes, but only if there is undeniable evidence they are planning to attack our country

This stance is a middle ground that acknowledges the EPP's strong stance on security and the fight against terrorism, but also its commitment to legal processes and human rights. The party might be divided on this issue, with some members seeing preemptive action as necessary for security and others viewing it as a violation of legal norms.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

The European People's Party (EPP), being a center-right political group in the European Parliament, generally supports the rule of law and international norms. Assassinating suspected terrorists in foreign countries without a legal process contradicts these principles and international law, making it highly unlikely that the EPP would support such actions.
