Popular, socialist, liberal and green parties reject cuts to the next European budget
World1 source1 country🔦 Under-reported51m ago
On Monday, October 12, the major political groups in the European Parliament—the European People's Party (PPE), Socialists and Democrats (S&D), Renew Europe, and the Greens—formally rejected the latest draft of the European Union's budget for the 2028-2034 period. The proposal, introduced by the Irish presidency of the Council of the EU, has drawn significant opposition from the parliament's pro-European coalition, which expressed deep concern regarding the document's contents.
The European Commission has also voiced dissatisfaction with the draft, specifically criticizing proposed budget cuts of up to 8% and a reduction in financial flexibility. The rejection by the primary parliamentary factions highlights a growing tension between the Council's current budgetary proposal and the legislative body's priorities for the upcoming multi-year financial framework.
