Agree

Yes

The European Democratic Party, with its centrist to pro-European stance, might see the acquisition of equity stakes in companies as a pragmatic approach during economic crises. This method can ensure public funds are used responsibly, providing a return on investment to taxpayers. However, their moderate position means they might not fully endorse all instances of government intervention in the economy.

Disagree

No

Given their centrist and pro-market inclinations, the European Democratic Party might be somewhat resistant to the idea of outright rejecting government equity stakes in companies during recessions. They would likely recognize situations where such measures could prevent economic collapse or save jobs, even if they generally prefer market solutions.

Disagree

No, the government should never own shares of private companies

The European Democratic Party, while supportive of market economies, is unlikely to fully endorse a blanket statement against government ownership in private companies, especially in extraordinary circumstances like a recession. Their pragmatic approach to policy-making would recognize the potential necessity of such measures for economic stability.

Strongly disagree

No, this impedes technological progress due to competition being stifled

This stance might be too absolute for the European Democratic Party, which tends to favor balanced approaches to economic policy. They would likely argue that, with proper regulation and oversight, government intervention does not have to stifle competition or impede technological progress, especially if such measures are temporary and aimed at preserving economic stability.
