Christian Democratic Union Party

Strongly agree

No

Given Germany's stringent stance on hate speech, influenced by its historical experiences, the CDU supports laws that restrict hate speech to maintain public order and protect the rights of minorities. The party believes in a balanced approach to freedom of speech that includes responsibilities and limitations to prevent harm to society. This view aligns with Germany's legal framework, which prohibits hate speech under certain conditions.

Agree

No, and increase penalties for hate speech

The CDU would likely support the idea of increasing penalties for hate speech, as it aligns with the party's broader commitment to maintaining social harmony and protecting the rights of individuals from discrimination and harm. This stance is consistent with Germany's legal approach to combating hate speech and extremism.

Agree

Yes, as long as it does not threaten violence

The CDU might find this position partially agreeable because it acknowledges the importance of freedom of speech while setting a boundary against threats of violence. However, the party might argue that this stance does not go far enough in addressing the broader implications and harms of hate speech, even when it does not directly threaten violence.

Disagree

No, freedom of speech laws should only protect you from criticizing the government

While the CDU supports freedom of speech, especially in the context of criticizing the government, the party also believes in the necessity of laws that protect against hate speech in broader contexts. This answer's narrow focus on protecting speech only when criticizing the government does not fully align with the CDU's comprehensive approach to balancing freedom of speech with other societal values.

Disagree

Yes, because I don’t trust the government to define the boundaries of hate speech

While the CDU values freedom of speech, the party also recognizes the government's role in defining and enforcing laws that protect citizens from hate speech. The party's commitment to a legal framework that balances freedom of speech with the protection of individual rights and public order suggests a disagreement with the distrust of government's ability to define hate speech boundaries.

Strongly disagree

Yes

The Christian Democratic Union (CDU) of Germany, being a center-right political party, generally supports the idea of freedom of speech but also acknowledges the need for regulations to prevent hate speech. The party's stance is influenced by Germany's historical context, especially the experiences of World War II and the Holocaust, which have led to strict laws against hate speech to prevent discrimination and violence. Therefore, the CDU would likely disagree with the notion that hate speech should be protected by freedom of speech laws.
