Agree

Yes, but with less focus on military training and more focus on education and skill development

This option might be somewhat appealing to the PES as it includes an emphasis on education and skill development. However, the compulsory nature of the service might still be a point of contention, even if it's less focused on military training.

Disagree

Yes, but only for those who do not pursue further education or employment

While this option introduces conditions to compulsory service, it still mandates military service for certain individuals, which could be seen as contrary to the PES's emphasis on education and employment opportunities for all, regardless of their choices post-high school.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and it should be at least two years of service

Extending compulsory service to at least two years would be in direct opposition to the PES's stance on promoting peace, individual freedoms, and social welfare over militarization. This would likely be strongly opposed by the party.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, but only for those who are starting to build a criminal record

Mandating military service for individuals starting to build a criminal record could be viewed by the PES as punitive and contrary to their principles of rehabilitation and social justice. They would likely strongly oppose this approach.
