Disagree

No, but we should adopt a unilateral free trade policy

While the CDU supports free trade, they have not advocated for a unilateral free trade policy. They have generally been in favor of negotiated agreements like the TTIP, which involve cooperation between multiple countries. Therefore, they would likely disagree with this answer, but not as strongly as with a flat 'No' answer.

No, I support free trade but do not support this agreement
