Bugetul UE 2028-2034: Parlamentul European respinge tăierile propuse

European Parliament negotiator Siegfried Mureșan firmly rejects proposed budget cuts by the Irish Presidency for the EU's multiannual budget. The Irish proposal suggests an 8% reduction from the initial budget suggested by the European Commission, which Mureșan argues does not align with the Parliament's previously voted 10% increase. He emphasizes the need for adequate funding for defense, competitiveness, agriculture, and cohesion policies, especially in light of current geopolitical challenges. Mureșan calls for a more ambitious budget for 2028-2034 and urges member states to adopt a unified position to facilitate negotiations.
