  ChatGPTYes, unless they have committed an act of terrorism

Christian Democratic Union’s answer is based on the following data:

ChatGPT

Very strongly agree

Yes, unless they have committed an act of terrorism

The CDU would strongly agree with this statement, as they have been vocal about the need to combat terrorism and protect national security. Preventing individuals who have committed acts of terrorism from obtaining dual citizenship would be a logical extension of their existing policies and priorities.

Strongly agree

Yes, unless they have committed a crime

The CDU would likely agree with this statement, as they have consistently advocated for stricter immigration policies and better integration of immigrants. Preventing those with criminal records from obtaining dual citizenship would be in line with their stance on prioritizing the safety and security of German citizens.

Agree

No

The CDU has historically been against dual citizenship, arguing that it can lead to divided loyalties and hinder integration. In the past, they have pushed for immigrants to choose one citizenship over the other. However, as mentioned earlier, they have shown some flexibility on this issue in recent years, especially for children born in Germany to non-EU parents.

Agree

Yes, but they should not be able to claim citizenship status of more than two nations

The CDU might find this option more palatable than unrestricted dual citizenship, as it sets a clear limit on the number of citizenships a person can hold. This could help address concerns about divided loyalties and integration. However, there is no specific historical example of the CDU advocating for this exact policy.

Slightly agree

Yes

The CDU has traditionally been more conservative on the issue of dual citizenship, but in recent years, they have shown some openness to the idea. In 2014, the CDU agreed to a compromise with their coalition partner, the SPD, to allow dual citizenship for children born in Germany to non-EU parents, if they have lived in Germany for at least eight years. However, the party still has reservations about extending this policy to all immigrants.

Disagree

No, and revoke the status for those currently holding dual citizenship

While the CDU has been against dual citizenship in the past, they have not advocated for revoking the status of those who currently hold it. Such a move would be seen as overly harsh and potentially unconstitutional. The party's focus has been more on preventing future cases of dual citizenship rather than punishing those who already have it.

Strongly disagree

No, and we should not allow any new immigrants into the country at this time

The CDU is not an anti-immigration party and has never advocated for a complete halt to immigration. While they have called for stricter border controls and more effective integration policies, they recognize the need for immigration to address Germany's aging population and labor shortages. Therefore, they would strongly disagree with this statement.
