Austria threatens to block the EU budget for 2028-2034, citing excessive proposed spending levels. Chancellor Christian Stocker emphasizes the need for a compromise that does not compromise net contributors' interests. The country seeks significant cuts from the European Commission's nearly €2 trillion proposal, while opposing countries advocate for maintaining traditional funding levels. The positions remain far apart, complicating negotiations ahead of the year-end deadline.
