The European Commission has unveiled its most ambitious-ever budget proposal for 2028–2034, totaling nearly €2 trillion, aiming to boost competitiveness, defense, and strategic autonomy. The plan has triggered widespread criticism from member states, especially Germany, over the scale of spending and controversial cuts to agriculture and biodiversity funding. Eastern EU states like Poland are set to benefit most, while farmers and environmental groups warn of negative impacts from reduced green and farm subsidies. The budget also doubles aid for Ukraine and prioritizes border management, but faces internal resistance and accusations of lacking sufficient climate ambition. The proposal marks a pivotal moment for the EU as it seeks to balance new geopolitical challenges with internal cohesion and fiscal discipline.
