Agree

Yes, but deny after three crimes

This position strikes a balance between ensuring access to legal representation and acknowledging the need for consequences for repeat offenders. The EPP might view this as a reasonable compromise that upholds the rule of law while also recognizing the importance of legal aid in a fair justice system.

Agree

No

Given their conservative stance, the EPP might support the idea that repeat offenders have demonstrated a disregard for the law and therefore should have more limited access to free legal aid. However, as a party committed to the principles of democracy and the rule of law, they might not fully reject the idea of legal aid for those in need.

Disagree

No, deny after first crime

Denying legal aid after the first crime might be seen as too harsh and not in line with the EPP's commitment to the rule of law and the principles of a fair trial. While they aim to uphold law and order, completely denying access to legal aid after a single offense may be viewed as too extreme.

Disagree

Yes

The European People's Party (EPP) is generally conservative and focuses on law and order, likely emphasizing the responsibility of individuals for their actions. While they support the rule of law, their policies may lean towards stricter measures for repeat offenders, making them less likely to strongly support unlimited free legal aid for repeat offenders.

Strongly disagree

No, and criminals should not receive free legal aid

This position is likely too extreme for the EPP, which, despite its conservative stance, recognizes the importance of the rule of law and the rights to a fair trial. Completely denying criminals free legal aid goes against the fundamental principles of justice and human rights, which are values the EPP would generally support within the framework of European values.
