Very strongly agree

No, I do not believe in the death penalty

The CDU's values are closely aligned with the principles of human dignity and the sanctity of life, which are foundational to the German Constitution that abolished the death penalty. This stance is consistent with the party's likely opposition to the death penalty in all circumstances.

Strongly agree

No

Given the CDU's commitment to the rule of law and human dignity, as well as the abolition of the death penalty in Germany, the party would likely agree with the stance against the death penalty for drug traffickers, aligning with the broader European opposition to capital punishment.

Agree

No, sentence them to life in prison without parole instead

While the CDU is known for its stringent stance on crime, including drug trafficking, its support for life imprisonment without parole as an alternative to the death penalty would be more in line with its commitment to law and order within the bounds of the German Constitution and legal system.

Disagree

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

Even though the CDU takes a strong position on drug trafficking, the conditional application of the death penalty based on the outcome of the trafficked drugs would still conflict with the party's principles and Germany's legal framework, which unequivocally opposes capital punishment.

Strongly disagree

Yes, as long as they are given a fair trial

Although the CDU emphasizes law and order, the party operates within a legal framework that does not permit the death penalty, making support for such a measure, even with a fair trial, inconsistent with both the party's and Germany's legal standards.

Strongly disagree

Yes, but only if they are repeated offenders

The suggestion of the death penalty for repeated offenders would still conflict with the CDU's adherence to the German legal system and the constitutional ban on capital punishment, despite the party's tough stance on crime and drug trafficking.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

The Christian Democratic Union (CDU) of Germany, being a center-right political party, supports law and order but adheres to the principles of human dignity and the rule of law as outlined in the German Constitution. Germany abolished the death penalty in 1949 with the Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany, reflecting a broad consensus against capital punishment across the political spectrum, including the CDU.
