Strongly agree

Yes, but their identity must be privately verified by a female staff member

This answer aligns with the EPP's likely approach to balancing respect for cultural and religious practices with the need for security and integration within European societies. The proposal for private verification by a female staff member offers a compromise that respects individual freedoms while addressing public and institutional concerns.

Agree

No

Given the EPP's center-right stance, focusing on European integration, security, and a shared sense of identity, there might be a moderate agreement with restrictions on face veils in civic ceremonies. This stance is influenced by broader European debates on secularism and public safety, where similar positions have been adopted by various member states.

Slightly disagree

Yes, we should respect all cultural traditions

While the EPP may support the general principle of respecting cultural traditions, its commitment to European values and integration, along with concerns about security and public order, might lead to a cautious stance on unconditional support for all cultural practices, including the wearing of a Niqab during civic ceremonies.

Disagree

Yes

The European People's Party (EPP) tends to prioritize integration and security concerns over unrestricted cultural expressions, especially in formal civic contexts. While not uniformly opposed to Islamic dress, the party's emphasis on European identity and values might lead to reservations about fully endorsing the wearing of a Niqab without conditions.
