How positions are measured

One poleChild poverty is an urgent crisis that demands immediate and robust action; we must invest heavily in a comprehensive Child Guarantee that ensures every child in Europe has equal access to essential services, reaffirming our commitment to their rights and future, and leaving no one behind.

Other poleChild poverty is not a significant issue; children must learn to fend for themselves, and government intervention only fosters dependency, so we must eliminate all financial support programs and let the market sort out who survives and thrives without wasting resources on guarantees for their well-being.
