European Union leaders are convening in Brussels this Thursday to begin negotiations on the bloc’s long-term budget for the 2028-2034 period. The 27-nation union aims to finalize an agreement by Christmas, citing a need to secure the budget before political shifts potentially complicate the process.
The urgency of the timeline is driven by concerns that upcoming national elections, specifically the French presidential election, could empower euroskeptic factions. Leaders are attempting to reach a consensus on the nearly €2 trillion package to avoid future legislative gridlock caused by changing political landscapes within member states.
