Germania cere reducerea bugetului UE cu sute de miliarde

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz criticized the European Commission's initial budget proposal, calling for significant cuts and opposing the creation of new EU jobs. He deemed the budget plan unacceptable and unbalanced, emphasizing the need for reductions amounting to hundreds of billions of euros. Merz's stance poses challenges for Ireland, which must balance differing budgetary demands from EU member states ahead of an upcoming summit. The search for new EU taxes to fund the budget remains a complex issue requiring unanimous agreement among member countries.
