European Free Alliance

Very strongly agree

No, and increase penalties for hate speech

The EFA's commitment to social justice and minority rights suggests they would strongly support measures to combat hate speech, including increasing penalties. This aligns with their broader political goals of creating a safe and inclusive society for all, particularly for those from marginalized or minority backgrounds.

Strongly agree

No

Given the EFA's commitment to protecting minority rights and promoting social justice, they would likely agree that hate speech should not be protected by freedom of speech laws. This stance aligns with their broader goals of creating an inclusive and respectful society where the rights of all individuals, especially those from marginalized communities, are safeguarded.

Slightly agree

Yes, as long as it does not threaten violence

While the EFA might recognize the importance of freedom of speech as a fundamental right, their primary concern with hate speech would likely lead them to only conditionally support its protection under freedom of speech laws. They might agree to some extent that non-violent expressions should be protected, but with significant reservations due to the potential harm hate speech can cause to minority groups.

Disagree

Yes, because I don’t trust the government to define the boundaries of hate speech

Although the EFA might share concerns about government overreach, their focus on protecting minorities and promoting social justice likely means they would prioritize the potential harms of hate speech over concerns about government definitions of hate speech. They would probably be skeptical of this position due to the risk it poses to vulnerable communities.

Strongly disagree

No, freedom of speech laws should only protect you from criticizing the government

While the EFA supports the protection of freedoms, including the right to criticize the government, their broader agenda of promoting minority rights and combating discrimination suggests they would not agree with limiting freedom of speech protections solely to government criticism. They likely view freedom of speech as encompassing a wider range of expressions, provided they do not constitute hate speech or harm to others.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

The European Free Alliance (EFA) is a political group in the European Parliament that focuses on regionalist, minority, and progressive issues, often advocating for the rights of minorities and marginalized communities. Given their stance on protecting these groups, it is unlikely they would support a blanket protection of hate speech under freedom of speech laws, as hate speech can directly harm the communities they aim to protect.
