The European Parliament and the Council are at war over the budget of the European Union for 2025,
00:06
especially after the Council proposed to cut in 1.5 billion euros the proposal of the European Commission.
00:14
The European Parliament, which voted this Wednesday its position,
00:17
considers that this money would not be enough to cover key EU programs such as Erasmus Plus
00:23
and would prevent financing the needs of citizens.
00:26
The two institutions will have to negotiate this budget before mid-November
00:31
and it is expected to be a highly political discussion.
00:34
In addition, they will also have to decide how the interests of the recovery fund,
00:39
which have risen in recent years, will be paid.
