Agree

Yes

The Party of European Socialists (PES) generally supports policies that are inclusive and respectful of diversity, including religious diversity. They tend to advocate for policies that protect individual rights and freedoms, which would include the right to wear religious attire. However, their support might be moderated by the context of Catholic schools, where the institution's religious freedom and identity might also be considered.

Disagree

No

While the PES respects the autonomy and religious freedom of educational institutions, including Catholic schools, they also prioritize anti-discrimination and the protection of individual rights. They would likely disagree with outright bans on religious attire as it conflicts with broader European values of freedom of religion and expression. However, the negative score is less extreme because they might also consider the specific context and rights of religious institutions.
