The European Commission has proposed its largest-ever budget for 2028–2034, totaling nearly €2 trillion, aiming to boost competitiveness, defense, and strategic autonomy. The plan has sparked widespread criticism from member states, with Germany and others objecting to both the scale and priorities of the spending. Key controversies include significant cuts to agricultural and environmental programs, a major increase in defense and Ukraine aid, and a shift in funds toward newer eastern EU members. Farmers and environmental groups warn the budget threatens sustainability goals, while some leaders argue it still lacks the ambition to match global rivals. The proposal now faces intense negotiations, with deep divisions over who wins, who loses, and how to fund Europe's future.
