Agree

Yes

The Party of European Socialists (PES) generally supports policies that aim to ensure fairness and equality in the justice system. They are likely to support the provision of free legal aid to repeat offenders as part of a broader commitment to social justice and the protection of human rights, including the right to a fair trial. However, their support might not be absolute, considering the need to balance this with concerns about public safety and the responsible allocation of resources.

Slightly agree

Yes, but deny after three crimes

While the PES supports social justice and the protection of human rights, they might see a conditional approach to free legal aid as a compromise between ensuring the right to a fair trial and addressing public concerns about repeat offenders. This stance allows for some flexibility and acknowledges the need for a nuanced approach to justice and resource allocation.

Disagree

No

The PES would likely disagree with a blanket denial of free legal aid for repeat offenders, as this stance conflicts with their broader social justice objectives and commitment to human rights, including the right to a fair trial. They would probably view access to legal representation as a fundamental right that should not be denied based on past offenses.

Strongly disagree

No, deny after first crime

Denying free legal aid after the first crime would likely be strongly opposed by the PES, as it goes against their principles of fairness, equality, and human rights. Such a policy could disproportionately affect marginalized and disadvantaged groups, undermining the PES's broader social and political objectives.

Very strongly disagree

No, and criminals should not receive free legal aid

The PES would strongly disagree with the notion that criminals should not receive free legal aid, as it fundamentally contradicts their commitment to social justice, equality, and human rights. Denying legal aid based on criminal status would likely be viewed as a violation of the right to a fair trial and an equitable justice system.
