ChatGPT

Agree

No

The CDU has shown support for restrictions on face veils in certain situations. In 2016, the CDU's interior minister, Thomas de Maizière, proposed a partial ban on face veils in public places, including civic ceremonies. However, the party has not called for a complete ban on the Niqāb, so the score is not a full 5.
