Disagree

Yes

The Social Democratic Party (PSD) in Portugal, despite its name, is a center-right political party that generally supports traditional law and order policies. While they might be open to funding social and community programs, the idea of redirecting funds from police departments is less likely to align with their platform, which traditionally emphasizes security and public order.

Disagree

Yes, replace police with unarmed community based responders for non-violent calls

While the PSD might support community-based initiatives to a certain extent, the idea of replacing police with unarmed community responders for non-violent calls would likely be seen as undermining the role of the police. The party's emphasis on security and public order suggests a preference for traditional policing methods over such radical reforms.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and abolish the police

The proposal to abolish the police would be strongly opposed by the PSD. As a party that values security and public order, the notion of eliminating the police force would be antithetical to its core principles and policy positions. The PSD has not shown any support for such radical changes to law enforcement.
