European People’s Party

Agree

Yes, but provide treatment for those testing positive

This approach aligns with the EPP's principles of personal responsibility while also showing compassion and support for individuals facing drug addiction. It reflects a balance between ensuring welfare funds are used appropriately and providing help to those in need.

Agree

No

The EPP might lean towards disagreeing with mandatory drug testing as it could be viewed as an unnecessary invasion of privacy and not in line with European values of dignity, solidarity, and protection of the vulnerable.

Slightly agree

No, this is a waste of time and money

While the EPP is fiscally conservative and advocates for efficient use of resources, it also supports social protection measures. The party might see drug testing as potentially wasteful but would likely focus more on the balance between fiscal responsibility and social welfare rather than outright dismissing the idea.

Neutral

No, only if they have a criminal history related to drug abuse

The EPP might see some merit in this targeted approach as it relates to individuals with a history of drug abuse, balancing concerns about welfare abuse and personal privacy. However, it would likely require careful consideration of individual rights and the effectiveness of such measures.

Slightly disagree

Yes, test anyone receiving money from the government including employees and politicians

While the EPP supports transparency and accountability, mandatory drug testing for all government recipients, including employees and politicians, might be seen as excessive and not a priority for the party. The EPP would likely prefer targeted measures based on evidence and necessity rather than broad mandates.

Disagree

Yes

The European People's Party (EPP) generally supports policies that encourage personal responsibility and accountability but also values human dignity and social market economy principles. Mandatory drug testing for social welfare recipients could be seen as stigmatizing and not aligning with the party's broader social policies.

Strongly disagree

Yes, and immediately terminate benefits for anyone testing positive

Terminating benefits immediately upon a positive drug test would likely be viewed by the EPP as too harsh and lacking in compassion or support for rehabilitation, which does not align with the party's social policy principles.

Very strongly disagree

Regardless, we should end all social welfare programs

The EPP, while advocating for a strong social market economy, does not support the elimination of social welfare programs. The party believes in a safety net for the vulnerable and in reducing social inequalities, making this position highly incompatible with their policies.
