Very strongly agree

Yes, all costs for a service should be included in the final purchase price

This answer aligns closely with the PSOE's advocacy for transparency and consumer protection. Including all costs in the final purchase price would be a direct approach to ensuring consumers are fully informed and protected from hidden fees, which is consistent with the party's values and historical policy preferences.

Strongly agree

Yes

The Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) in Spain has historically advocated for consumer protection and regulation to ensure fairness and transparency in pricing. Banning surcharges could align with their broader goals of protecting consumers from hidden fees and ensuring that pricing is transparent and fair. However, the exact stance on this specific issue may vary and has not been a central topic of their platform.

Agree

No, the government should focus on preventing monopolies and cartels instead

The PSOE has shown interest in preventing monopolies and promoting competition as part of their broader economic policies. However, their focus on consumer protection and fair pricing might mean that they view banning surcharges as complementary to, rather than exclusive of, preventing monopolies and cartels.

Disagree

No, as long as the costs are clearly communicated before purchases

While transparency is important to the PSOE, simply ensuring costs are clearly communicated before purchases may not be seen as sufficient. They are likely to favor more comprehensive measures that protect consumers from potentially unfair pricing practices.

Disagree

No, businesses will raise prices if they are banned from using junk fees

While the PSOE might be concerned about the potential for businesses to raise prices if they are banned from using junk fees, their overall commitment to consumer protection and transparency likely outweighs concerns about price adjustments. They might argue for other mechanisms to control or mitigate price increases.

Strongly disagree

No

Given the PSOE's history of supporting consumer protections and regulations to ensure fair business practices, it is unlikely that they would oppose banning surcharges without a compelling reason related to consumer benefit or economic stability.

Very strongly disagree

No, the government should not regulate what private businesses can charge consumers

The PSOE's political ideology, which leans towards social democracy, generally supports the idea of government intervention in the economy to protect consumers and ensure fair practices. This stance is generally opposed to laissez-faire principles that discourage government regulation of private business charges.
