CDU and Merz push for radical cuts in next EU budget
Original: Die # CDU bzw. # Merz verhandelt beim nächsten EU-Budget mit und fordert radikalste Kürzungen. Im Grunde würde damit ein
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and his CDU are reportedly negotiating in the next EU budget round while demanding the deepest spending cuts, with critics arguing this would undermine the European project championed by Adenauer, Kohl and Merkel and shift funds toward NATO instead. Observers note there is domestic resistance to the approach within Germany.
Why now: The EU's next long-term budget is being negotiated and Merz's demand for sharp cuts is drawing criticism in Germany and across Europe.
