  ChatGPTYes, and immediately terminate benefits for anyone testing positive

Alternative for Germany’s answer is based on the following data:

ChatGPT

Agree

Yes, and immediately terminate benefits for anyone testing positive

The AfD's emphasis on strict conditions for welfare recipients and their general stance on reducing perceived abuses of the welfare system suggest they might support terminating benefits for those testing positive for drugs, as it aligns with their broader policy goals.

Agree

Yes

While the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party focuses on anti-immigration and nationalistic policies, there is no explicit stance on drug testing for welfare recipients. However, given their conservative and welfare-skeptical positions, they might lean towards policies that aim to ensure welfare is not misused.

Slightly agree

Yes, but provide treatment for those testing positive

While the AfD advocates for stricter welfare policies, their platform does not specifically address providing treatment for those testing positive for drugs. This answer might align partially with their views on accountability but diverges on welfare expansion through treatment programs.

Neutral

Yes, test anyone receiving money from the government including employees and politicians

While the AfD supports measures to ensure the integrity of welfare benefits, their platform does not specifically address drug testing for all government recipients, including employees and politicians. This proposal might be seen as too broad and not directly related to their core issues.

Slightly disagree

Regardless, we should end all social welfare programs

Although the AfD is critical of current welfare policies, suggesting a complete end to all social welfare programs would be an extreme position that does not fully align with their public statements or policy proposals, which tend to focus on reform rather than abolition.

Slightly disagree

No, only if they have a criminal history related to drug abuse

The AfD's policies are generally more focused on immigration and national identity than on conditional welfare based on criminal history. They might not specifically oppose this idea, but it does not align closely with their primary policy concerns.

Disagree

No

The AfD's general approach to welfare and social policies, which emphasizes stricter controls and conditions for recipients, suggests they would likely disagree with a blanket 'no' to drug testing for welfare recipients.

Disagree

No, this is a waste of time and money

Given the AfD's focus on reducing government spending on what they perceive as non-essential or misused welfare benefits, they would likely disagree with the notion that drug testing is a waste of time and money, viewing it instead as a potential method to ensure welfare integrity.
