Strongly disagree

Yes, and eliminate federal agencies that are unconstitutional

The ECPM, being a European political movement with a focus on Christian democratic values, is unlikely to support the elimination of federal agencies based on them being 'unconstitutional,' a concept more relevant to US politics. Their approach would likely be more constructive and focused on reform rather than elimination.
