We need to reduce the size of this multiannual financial framework.” #PresupuestoEuropeo #UniónEuropea #CohesiónEU (translated)

The circumstances will not be suitable. Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar stated that "the circumstances will not be suitable" for leaders to reach an agreement before December, among other things because several countries lack a government. #PresupuestoUE #DivisiónEuropea #CohesiónEuropea (translated)
This is not even a starting point for these conversations. His Swedish colleague, Ulf Kristersson, also aligned with the frugal team, harshly criticized the latest compromise proposal from the Irish presidency of the EU, which had already lowered the financial demands of the Commission. #PresupuestoUE #DivisiónEuropea #CohesiónEuropea (translated)
Le Pen had already warned that determining the budget for the period 2028-2034 before the end of the year would be "equivalent to ignoring French democracy," since one of her standout promises is to unilaterally cut France's contribution to the EU budget in half. #PresupuestoUE #DivisiónEuropea #CohesiónEuropea (translated)

More important than speed is to have a good agreement and not a bad one. Ireland's proposal is not good enough to reach an agreement. The tough stance of the Swede Kristersson was supported by his Dutch colleague, Rob Jetten: “More important than speed is to have a good agreement and not a bad one. Ireland's proposal is not good enough to reach an agreement.” #PresupuestoUE #CumbresEuropeas #CohesiónEU (translated)
Our goal remains to reach an agreement before the end of the year. #PresupuestoUE #CumbresEuropeas #CohesiónEU (translated)

The amount of the new proposal does not constitute a basis for reaching an agreement. In fact, the same Saturday, frugal countries like Germany, the Netherlands, or Sweden already stated that “the negotiation document of the new multiannual financial framework is unacceptable. The overall volume of the budget must be significantly reduced” and even the German Chancellor, Friedrich Merz, emphasized that “the amount of the new proposal does not constitute a basis for reaching an agreement.” #PresupuestoEuropeo #CohesiónEU #Recortes (translated)
Spain, along with other Southern and Eastern European countries, warns that the proposed budget cuts for the period 2028-2034 undermine the capabilities and ambitions of the European Union in the face of current challenges. #PresupuestoEuropeo #CohesiónEU #Recortes (translated)
