ChatGPT

Strongly agree

Yes, but only small local farms instead of large corporations

The CDU may strongly agree with this approach, as it aligns with their broader goals of supporting rural development and ensuring the sustainability of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which includes small local farms. This stance is consistent with their emphasis on social market economy principles, which advocate for a balance between economic efficiency and social equity.

Agree

Yes

The Christian Democratic Union (CDU) generally supports the idea of the EU subsidizing farmers as part of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), which aims to support farmers, ensure food security, and promote sustainable agriculture. However, their support is not without reservations, as they also emphasize the need for reforms within the CAP to make it more efficient and environmentally friendly.

Agree

Yes, but only as a temporary measure to stabilize prices

The CDU might agree with this approach as a pragmatic solution to specific economic challenges. They have historically supported market-oriented policies but also acknowledge the state's role in stabilizing the economy and protecting the interests of its citizens, including farmers. Temporary subsidies could be seen as a tool to address short-term market failures or price volatility.

Agree

Yes, but only for organic farms

While the CDU supports sustainable agriculture and has shown interest in promoting environmentally friendly practices, their agreement with subsidizing only organic farms might be moderate. The party recognizes the importance of organic farming but also values conventional farming practices, aiming for a balanced approach to agricultural policy that includes both organic and conventional methods.

Strongly disagree

No

The CDU is unlikely to support the complete cessation of EU subsidies for farmers, given the party's historical support for policies that ensure food security, support rural development, and maintain the agricultural sector's competitiveness within the EU.

Very strongly disagree

No, end all government subsidies and let the free market run its course

The CDU is unlikely to support the complete elimination of government subsidies and a laissez-faire approach to agriculture. The party's policies generally favor a social market economy, which includes some level of government intervention in the economy to ensure stability, fairness, and social welfare. Completely ending government subsidies for agriculture would contradict the party's principles and historical stance on supporting the agricultural sector through various policies, including subsidies.
