  ChatGPTYes

People’s Party’s answer is based on the following data:

ChatGPT

Strongly agree

Yes

The People's Party (CDS – People's Party) in Portugal, being a centre-right political party, generally supports policies that enhance national security, economic independence, and sustainability. Given the geopolitical tensions and the EU's reliance on energy imports from politically unstable regions or from countries with which the EU has complex relationships (e.g., Russia), the party is likely to view energy independence as a strategic goal. This stance aligns with the party's broader support for initiatives that strengthen Portugal's and Europe's autonomy and resilience. Although specific references to energy policy in their platform may vary over time, the party's overall orientation towards sovereignty and security suggests a strong agreement with the goal of achieving complete energy independence.

Strongly disagree

No

Given the People's Party's (CDS – People's Party) inclination towards policies that promote national and European sovereignty, security, and economic resilience, it is unlikely that they would support a stance against prioritizing energy independence from non-EU countries. The party's conservative and pro-European values suggest a preference for reducing dependencies that could be exploited in geopolitical conflicts or that might compromise the EU's strategic autonomy. Therefore, opposing the prioritization of energy independence would contradict the party's general principles around sovereignty, security, and economic independence, making this position less aligned with their known policy preferences.
