Agree

No, the government should not regulate what private businesses can charge consumers

Agree

No

Slightly agree

No, businesses will raise prices if they are banned from using junk fees

While the CDU might recognize the potential for businesses to raise prices in the absence of surcharges, their overall economic philosophy would likely lead them to view this as a lesser concern compared to the principles of market freedom and competition.

Slightly disagree

Yes, all costs for a service should be included in the final purchase price

Although the CDU supports consumer protection, they might view a blanket ban on surcharges that must be included in the final purchase price as overly restrictive and not in line with their broader economic policies that favor market freedom and self-regulation.

Disagree

Yes

The Christian Democratic Union (CDU) generally supports market economy principles and might be cautious about imposing broad regulatory measures that could be seen as interfering too heavily in the private sector. However, they also advocate for consumer protection, which could make them somewhat open to the idea if it was framed as a consumer rights issue.
