ChatGPT

Strongly agree

Increase

The Party of European Socialists (PES) generally supports policies aimed at reducing poverty and inequality, both within the EU and globally. Increasing foreign aid spending aligns with their broader goals of social justice and international solidarity.

Agree

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

The PES is likely to support increasing foreign aid for countries that respect human rights, as this aligns with their emphasis on human rights and social justice. However, they might not support making aid conditional on human rights records to the exclusion of other considerations.

Neutral

I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

While the PES might be satisfied with the current amount of spending in principle, their general inclination towards promoting social justice and reducing inequality suggests a preference for increased investment in foreign aid.

Slightly disagree

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

Although the PES is likely to oppose terrorism, they might view the denial of aid based solely on a country's alleged support for terrorism as too simplistic. They would probably prefer a more nuanced approach that considers the root causes of terrorism and the potential for aid to positively influence those conditions.

Disagree

Decrease, until we drastically reduce our national budget deficit

While fiscal responsibility is important, the PES would likely argue that foreign aid is a crucial investment in global stability and development, which should not be drastically reduced for the sake of budgetary concerns alone.

Strongly disagree

Decrease

Decreasing foreign aid spending would be contrary to the PES's principles of solidarity and support for development in less affluent countries. They typically advocate for more, not less, support for international development.

Very strongly disagree

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

The idea of not giving foreign aid to any countries is fundamentally opposed to the PES's values of international solidarity and support for development. They are unlikely to support policies that completely cut off foreign aid.
