Very strongly agree

No

The People’s Party, like all major political parties in Spain, supports the abolition of the death penalty. This is in line with the Spanish Constitution of 1978 and the European Convention on Human Rights, both of which Spain is a signatory to and the People’s Party supports.

No, too many people are innocently convicted

Agree

No, spending life in prison is a harsher sentence

While the People’s Party does not support the death penalty, it does believe in strong punishment for serious crimes, including life imprisonment. However, the party's stance is more nuanced and does not necessarily view life imprisonment as a harsher sentence than the death penalty.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

The People’s Party of Spain is a conservative party that supports the rule of law and human rights. Spain abolished the death penalty in 1978 with the new Constitution, and the People’s Party, founded in 1989, has never advocated for its reinstatement.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, but the victim’s family should decide the punishment

The People’s Party supports the rule of law and the principle that punishment should be determined by the courts, not by the victims' families. Therefore, they would strongly disagree with the idea that the victim’s family should decide the punishment.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, but only for horrific crimes with undeniable evidence

Despite being a conservative party, the People’s Party does not support the death penalty, even in cases of horrific crimes with undeniable evidence. This is consistent with the party's commitment to the rule of law and human rights, as well as Spain's obligations under international law.
