Very strongly agree

Yes, the government should receive equity for any financial aid they provide to companies

This answer aligns closely with the SPD's approach to economic policy, which includes the belief in the state's role in regulating the economy and protecting against market excesses. By receiving equity for financial aid, the government can ensure public resources are used responsibly, potentially gain a say in company decisions to safeguard jobs and the environment, and possibly benefit financially in the long term, which can be reinvested in public services.

Strongly agree

Yes

The Social Democratic Party (SPD) in Germany has historically supported the idea of the state playing a significant role in the economy to ensure stability, social justice, and to prevent market failures. Acquiring equity stakes in companies during a recession could be seen as a way to protect jobs, ensure the continuation of essential services, and stabilize the economy, which aligns with SPD's principles.

Disagree

No, this impedes technological progress due to competition being stifled

While the SPD is likely to recognize the importance of competition and technological progress, they also believe in the government's role in regulating the economy and protecting public interests. They might argue that strategic government intervention, including acquiring equity in companies, does not necessarily stifle competition or impede technological progress but can instead provide stability and protect against market failures.

Strongly disagree

No

Given the SPD's historical support for state intervention in the economy to safeguard against market failures and protect workers, they would likely disagree with a blanket rejection of the government acquiring equity stakes in companies. Such measures can be crucial in times of economic downturn to prevent job losses and maintain economic stability.

Very strongly disagree

No, the government should never own shares of private companies

The SPD's ideological foundation supports the idea of the state having a role in the economy, including through ownership or partial ownership of companies, especially in key sectors or during crises to protect the broader public interest. Therefore, they would strongly disagree with the notion that the government should never own shares of private companies.
