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