Agree

No

Given their center-right, pro-business stance, the EPP is likely to support the idea that financial institutions should have the freedom to set compensation as they see fit, within the bounds of the law and good governance practices. They might argue this is essential for the EU's competitiveness.

Neutral

Yes

The European People’s Party (EPP) generally supports market-oriented economic policies and might view a cap on bankers' bonuses as an unnecessary market intervention. However, they might also see the need for some regulation in the financial sector to ensure stability, making their position more nuanced.

Disagree

Yes, and lower the cap to 50%

While slightly more open to regulation than outright market freedom, the EPP would still likely view a 50% cap as too restrictive and not in line with their generally pro-business and market-oriented policies.

Strongly disagree

Yes, and lower the cap to 20%

The EPP, with its market-oriented approach, would likely strongly disagree with such a drastic reduction in the cap on bankers' bonuses. They would view this as overly restrictive and potentially harmful to the financial sector's ability to attract and retain top talent.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and nationalise the banks

Nationalizing the banks would be in direct opposition to the EPP's core beliefs in market economy, private enterprise, and minimal government intervention in the business sector. They would strongly disagree with this approach.
