Mutarea făcută de Nicușor Dan și Giorgia Meloni, după ce Germania și „frugalii” au cerut reducerea finanțării europene pentru două politici cheie

Nicușor Dan and Giorgia Meloni coordinated a letter from 17 EU member states to maintain funding for cohesion and agricultural policies in the EU budget. They aim to keep these areas as central priorities while also addressing major issues like security and energy resilience. The 'frugal' states, including Germany and the Netherlands, are pushing for significant budget cuts, which could threaten future funding continuity. Negotiations are expected to be challenging, with a critical deadline approaching in 2027, coinciding with important elections in several EU countries. The Friends of Cohesion group plans to meet again before the upcoming European Council.
