I believe it depends less on my affiliation with a family, and more on the coalition of ideas. And the fact that 17 states have united and that Italy and Romania are coordinating this association is very good for Romania. President Nicușor Dan stated on Thursday in Brussels that the association of the 17 member states of the European Union in the group "Friends of Cohesion," coordinated by Romania and Italy, represents an advantage in negotiations regarding the future European budget. The fact that 17 out of 27 states had common ideas contributed, for example, to maintaining the so-called national envelope between the Cypriot proposal and the Irish proposal of the budget. Nicușor Dan explained that the common position of the 17 states has already yielded results in discussions regarding the future European budget. The discussion we had this morning with the 17 states was about maintaining the unity of this group so that it can have a greater weight in negotiations. #bugetUE #politicadecoeziune #PrieteniiCoeziunii (translated)
