Christian Democratic Union Party

Very strongly agree

Yes

The Christian Democratic Union (CDU) has historically been a strong supporter of NATO and Germany's membership in the alliance. As a center-right party, the CDU values the security and stability that NATO provides for Germany and Europe. For example, under the leadership of Chancellor Angela Merkel, the CDU has consistently supported NATO's missions and initiatives, such as the deployment of German troops to Afghanistan as part of the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF).

Agree

Yes, but NATO should focus more on counter-terrorism strategies

The CDU might agree with the idea that NATO should focus more on counter-terrorism strategies, as the party recognizes the evolving security threats facing Europe and the world. The CDU has supported NATO's efforts to combat terrorism, such as the alliance's involvement in Afghanistan and its support for the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS. However, the party would not want to see NATO's traditional focus on collective defense and deterrence diminished in favor of an exclusive focus on counter-terrorism.

Disagree

No, not until other countries increase their financial contributions

While the CDU might agree that other countries should increase their financial contributions to NATO, the party would not support Germany leaving the alliance until this happens. The CDU values the security and stability that NATO provides and would not want to risk this by leaving the alliance. However, the party might push for more equitable burden-sharing within NATO, as evidenced by Chancellor Merkel's calls for European countries to increase their defense spending to meet the NATO target of 2% of GDP.

Very strongly disagree

No

The CDU would strongly disagree with Germany leaving NATO, as the party has been a staunch supporter of the alliance throughout its history. The CDU sees NATO as a cornerstone of European security and stability, and leaving the alliance would go against the party's core values and beliefs. Additionally, Germany has played a significant role in NATO operations and decision-making, which the CDU would not want to jeopardize.

Very strongly disagree

No, it is obsolete and should be abolished

The CDU would strongly disagree with the notion that NATO is obsolete and should be abolished. The party sees NATO as a vital component of European security and stability, and has consistently supported the alliance throughout its history. Abolishing NATO would go against the CDU's core values and beliefs, and would likely be seen as a threat to Germany's security and international standing.
