Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that Germany's annual EU contribution could rise from the current just over 40 billion euros to over 60 billion euros according to a current negotiation proposal – an increase of around 50 percent. At the same time, he noted that Brussels, despite empty state coffers, demanded significantly higher payments. The EU Commission originally planned a budget of 1.985 trillion euros for 2028 to 2034. Ireland proposed a cut to 1.826 trillion euros, which Chancellor Friedrich Merz rejected as insufficient; other member states also criticized the cuts.

Sahra Wagenknecht accused Friedrich Merz of losing touch with reality and called it absurd to refer to the planned reforms as a "justice program." According to polls, 80 percent of citizens rightly considered the reforms unjust, she wrote. Wagenknecht rejected Merz's statement that no euro for Ukraine was missing from social systems. She claimed that Merz was retrieving the money for the Ukraine aid through cuts in nursing, pensions, and health from the citizens.
