Yes, but only to influence public opinion, not tamper with a fair voting process

Very strongly disagree

Yes

The Party of European Socialists (PES) generally promotes democratic values and the rule of law, both within the EU and in its relations with other countries. Actively seeking to influence foreign elections would contradict these principles, as it would undermine the democratic process in other nations.
