ChatGPT

Strongly agree

Increase

The Left Bloc (Bloco de Esquerda) in Portugal is known for its progressive and internationalist stance, often advocating for increased support for developing countries and global solidarity initiatives. They would likely support an increase in foreign aid spending as part of their commitment to addressing global inequalities and promoting social justice.

Agree

Increase, but only for countries that have no human rights violations

While the Left Bloc is likely to support increased foreign aid, their commitment to human rights suggests they would be sympathetic to the idea of conditioning aid on the recipient countries' human rights records. However, their primary focus on solidarity and addressing inequalities might make them cautious about imposing strict conditions that could potentially harm vulnerable populations in those countries.

Disagree

I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

While the Left Bloc might not be fundamentally opposed to the current amount of foreign aid spending, their general inclination towards promoting social justice and addressing global inequalities suggests they would prefer to see an increase rather than maintaining the status quo.

Disagree

Decrease, and deny aid to countries that harbor or promote terrorism

While the Left Bloc is committed to combating terrorism, their approach is likely to emphasize addressing root causes such as poverty, inequality, and political disenfranchisement. They would probably be cautious about denying aid broadly to countries on the basis of harboring or promoting terrorism, concerned about the impact on civilian populations and the potential for exacerbating the conditions that lead to terrorism.

Disagree

Decrease, until we drastically reduce our national budget deficit

The Left Bloc's focus on social justice and international solidarity suggests they would be reluctant to decrease foreign aid for the purpose of reducing the national budget deficit. They are more likely to advocate for alternative fiscal policies that do not compromise support for developing countries.

Strongly disagree

Decrease

Given the Left Bloc's progressive policies and emphasis on international solidarity, it is unlikely that they would support a decrease in foreign aid spending. Such a position would contradict their advocacy for global social justice and efforts to combat poverty and inequality worldwide.

Very strongly disagree

Decrease, and we should not give foreign aid to any countries

The Left Bloc's ideological foundation, which includes principles of solidarity and support for marginalized communities globally, makes it highly unlikely that they would support a policy of not giving foreign aid to any countries. Such a stance would be antithetical to their core values.
