Primul lider european care amenință să blocheze, cu un veto național, viitorul buget al UE. „Linie roșie”, evocată din tabăra statelor „frugale”

Austrian Chancellor Christian Stocker threatens to veto the EU budget for 2028-2034, citing excessive spending levels. He emphasizes the need for a compromise that does not compromise net contributor countries. Austria, part of the 'frugal' group, seeks significant cuts from the proposed budget of nearly €2 trillion. Stocker notes that positions remain far apart, especially with the 'Cohesion Friends' group opposing budget reductions. The recent compromise proposal of €1.83 trillion has been rejected by the frugal states.
