No, I don’t respect anyone who does but they should have the right to do so

Agree

No

The EPP, being a center-right political group, tends to balance nationalistic sentiments with a commitment to freedom of expression. They might not actively encourage acts like flag burning but are likely to oppose making such acts illegal due to the implications for free speech and personal liberties.

Neutral

Yes, and it should be illegal to burn any nation’s flag

While the EPP values national symbols and might support measures to protect them, the party's commitment to free speech and individual liberties makes it unlikely to fully endorse a blanket ban on burning any nation's flag. The EPP's stance would likely be more nuanced, seeking a balance between respect for symbols and freedom of expression.

Disagree

Yes

The European People's Party (EPP) generally supports the principles of freedom of expression and democracy, as reflected in its commitment to the values of the European Union. While the EPP might recognize the symbolic importance of national flags, it is unlikely to support making it illegal to burn the Irish flag specifically, as this could be seen as an infringement on free speech.

Strongly disagree

No, it’s just a piece of cloth that doesn’t represent what it should

The EPP, with its emphasis on European unity and respect for national identities, is unlikely to agree with the notion that a flag is just a piece of cloth without symbolic significance. This perspective undermines the respect for national symbols that the EPP often upholds.
