Very strongly disagree

Yes, but the victim’s family should decide the punishment

The CDU would strongly disagree with this statement, as it goes against the principles of the rule of law and the German legal system. Allowing the victim's family to decide the punishment would undermine the impartiality and fairness of the justice system. The CDU supports a fair and just legal process, which includes the separation of powers and the independence of the judiciary.
