04:19to balance the own budget, so there's no real surplus money at the moment.
04:26So it will be difficult negotiations, but in the end, as always, there will be a compromise.
04:32And just on the timeline, Mertz wants this done, the deal to be struck this year.
04:37Is that realistic?
04:38Well, I hope so, but I'm not really sure because there are only a couple of months left in
04:46this year, and I'm not really sure whether that is really a realistic timeline, but I
04:51think what the Chancellor wants to say is we have to hurry up, and I think that's a
04:58good plan.
04:59But if we don't manage to be in time, we should give ourselves a bit more time.
05:05It's better than to have no budget at all.
05:11Andreas Bovenschulte there speaking to our Angela Scudens.
05:14And listening to that statement with me here in the studio is the Deputy Prime Minister
05:18of Bulgaria, Tanis Bekhanov, who's in Brussels today for those very budget talks.
05:23Welcome to Brussels and welcome to Europe today.
05:26First question about that long-term budget.
05:28Is a compromise feasible?
05:30Good morning, and thank you for the invitation.
05:32We are at a crucial point for Europe.
05:34We have to decide the budget that will also decide our future, and we have to address the
05:40issues at hand.
05:41We are in a very tense geopolitical situation, changing circumstances, changing technologies.
05:46So Europe has to do more, has to do better on competitiveness, but it also has to retain
05:51its traditional policies.
05:53Cohesion policy for us is a traditional, important, and very beneficial EU policy.
05:58And for Bulgaria, as well as the member states which are part of our group of Friends of Cohesion,
06:04it is important that no further cuts are done to Cohesion policy.
06:08But that's where it's going to get tricky.
06:09We've already heard the German Chancellor, he wants to cut 400 billion euros from the budget,
06:13calling the current proposal impossible.
06:16And cap and Cohesion funds, they feel like something of the past.
06:19The future is all about defence.
06:20We hear these concerns by our partners, of course, but let me say clearly, Cohesion policy
06:25is not a gift from some member states to others.
06:28It is an investment in a functioning single market.
06:30It makes the infrastructure that then enables firms across Europe to extend, to get new
06:36markets, to get new consumers.
06:37It also creates new opportunities for European industries.
06:41In Bulgaria, many of the vendors for very important projects for goods and services, high
06:45quality projects, have enabled also European industries to deliver these projects.
06:50So Bulgarian citizens receive the extension of the subway, one of the most popular projects,
06:56European-funded projects in Bulgaria, delivered also by a lot of European companies.
07:00But Bulgaria, of course, is a small country.
07:02You receive more as well from the kitty than you contribute.
07:05So is your voice even heard in a debate like this?
07:08We believe that how we organise in the Friends of Cohesion will make it feasible that we make
07:15our voice very clear and loud in this discussion.
07:18It is an important discussion because it will enable either Europe to thrive or it will lead
07:24us to a situation where maybe we are already at, with a competitiveness lag towards some
07:28of the other member states.
07:30And the two goals, competitiveness and cohesion, they don't go against each other.
07:34You have to have excellence in Europe.
07:36This is what we are going to talk about today, also at the budget conference.
07:39But this excellence cannot be focused in one or two places.
07:42It has to be equally distributed across Europe.
07:44And this budget battle could take months.
07:47It could go into next year.
07:48Will they find a deal by the end of this year, though, ahead of the next year with all those
07:52elections taking place?
07:52It will take months.
07:54It will be hard negotiations.
07:55There is no doubt about it.
07:56Of course, it is better to reach a solution fast.
07:59We would like also to start planning how all these funds will be used then next year.
08:03So it will be beneficial for everybody if we find a solution this year.
08:06And Bulgarians joined the Eurozone back in January, reluctantly.
08:09I remember the protests.
08:10How is the economy doing now?
08:12In the longer term, the Euro will bring benefits to Bulgaria, strengthened credit worthiness
08:18and strengthened credit ratings, more trust in our country on financial markets.
08:23In the short run, however, there have been some, I would say, pressures, pressures on
08:27the inflation side.
08:28Unfortunately, with the start of the war in Iran, this also contributed.
08:32One could say that some firms coordinated and increased their prices.
08:36This is something we are worried about.
08:38Inflation in April and May was double the Euro area.
08:41Average, which is very concerning and concerning for citizens.
08:45So on that, we have taken first steps once we stepped into office in May to strengthen
08:50the regulators to see if there were some malpractices on side of some firms in some sectors, because
08:55we don't want the Euro adoption to weaken our price competitiveness.
08:59We see that, for example, in some sectors, these price increases.
09:02Of course, then they can transmit lower demand.
09:05So on this, there are some concerns.
09:07The deficit has also increased.
09:09There have been some capital expenditures that have been delayed in recent years.
09:13They have to be done this year.
09:15Not so that we address this issue, we are also taking steps to further implement and finalize
09:21the recovery plan.
09:22This is my portfolio, the Bulgarian National Recovery and Resilience Plan, something that
09:27was lagging because of the political instability.
09:29We managed to unlock the fourth payment after a visit that we had with President von der Leyen
09:35and delivering on the important rule of law milestones that were expected for Bulgaria
09:39for many years.
09:40Okay, Deputy Prime Minister, thank you so much for joining us here this morning on Europe
09:43Today.
09:44Now, Ireland has officially taken over the rotating presidency of the Council of the EU in a
09:49ceremony at Dublin Castle that included a special guest, Ukraine's President Volodymyr
09:53Selensky.
09:54Our political reporter, Jorge Lebradero, is in Dublin and sent us this report.
10:00Accession dominated the first day of the Irish presidency of the EU Council.
10:04Volodymyr Selensky himself flew to Dublin to attend the opening ceremony and made the case
10:10for his country's application.
10:11We remember that last month, Ukraine and Moldova finally opened the first cluster of negotiations
10:17after a very long wait.
10:19Now, Selensky says he wants to open the five remaining clusters as soon as possible.
10:24But there are two obstacles in his way.
10:26First, Hungary.
10:28Prime Minister Peter Magyar is raising fresh concerns about Ukraine's accession and the
10:33pace of negotiations.
10:34So, as a result, things are already slowing down in Brussels.
10:38Then we have Poland.
10:39Selensky is currently embroiled in a bitter dispute with Poland over his decision to name a military
10:45unit after the Ukrainian insurgent army.
10:48Poland says his decision is so controversial that it could lead to the blockage of Ukraine's
10:53accession.
10:54Can Selensky handle two vitals at the same time?
10:57This was my question to him during the press conference.
10:59Take a listen at his rather conciliatory response.
11:03Even with some difficulties with the urban government, we did everything.
11:10So, I hope that Peter Magyar will support.
11:13And I hope that also Poland's government will support.
11:18I think it's important when we all have rules, not, I mean, it's just, you know, political
11:25emotions.
11:25We are neighbors.
11:26And I'm sure, of course, we had difficulties in our history.
11:31But, you know, all the, I mean, mostly countries in Europe had difficulties in the past.
11:37But we live now.
11:39Now we have one aggressor.
11:40And now we have unanimity.
11:42And we are defending EU.
11:44And we have to think about security for our people for the future.
11:53Ukraine's President Selensky there answering a question to our Jorge Libreiro in Dublin.
11:57But moving on with humanitarian needs in Venezuela skyrocketing since the earthquake last week,
12:02the European Union has sent 5 million euro in aid.
12:05For more on the situation on the ground, our Lauren Walker spoke to Joao Almeida de Silva
12:10from the EU's Emergency Response Coordination Centre.
12:13He's stationed at an operations base in La Guardia Stadium in the city of Macuto, the hardest-hit area.
12:20We are progressing.
12:21And unfortunately, the time limit is, and the clock is ticking in order as related to the retrieval
12:29and of still possible survivals.
12:32Still, there are teams working.
12:33And so there is still hope.
12:35But unfortunately, we are now entering the second stage, more of this operation.
12:39So the teams will start to demobilize probably towards the end of the week
12:44and as from tomorrow and after tomorrow.
12:47And then we will enter into the second stage.
12:50So some more health and medical and in-kind assistance and humanitarian aid.
12:54What has your work there been like so far?
12:57Can you tell us a bit more about what you've been doing there?
12:59So our work is to coordinate, to facilitate, and to work with local authorities in order to speed up as
13:05much as possible
13:05that these teams can go into the terrain and work.
13:09We are also to coordinate what is the incoming also assistance and all the humanitarian aid that is about to
13:16come.
13:17We had already one flight of really few that landed here on Monday, coming from Copenhagen with almost 50 tons
13:23of assistance.
13:26And this will be our work model for the next days as we demobilize the teams from search and rescue
13:31and move into more health and in-kind assistance provision in Venezuela.
13:36Now reports are coming from the ground in Venezuela with some people suggesting that a lot of the help is
13:43coming from international aid
13:44like you are providing and from citizens and that the state and the army are very much absent in these
13:51operations.
13:52Is this something, does this correspond with what you're seeing on the ground?
13:55Well, it's difficult to enter.
13:58We know all the political situation here in Venezuela, but this is what we have here.
14:03It's with the army that we have to work and the other ones in control of the airport of the
14:08port.
14:08So, well, our strategic points in terms of logistics to bring assistance in.
14:13The EU has pledged 5 million euros in support.
14:15However, there are preliminary reports that suggest that actually the damage that has done, it could cost up to $11
14:21billion.
14:23Would you say that the support that is being given now, this financial aid, is a drop in the ocean
14:29when you see the damage that these earthquakes have done?
14:32I would like my comments on this for my colleagues from the humanitarian side, as we are here representing civil
14:38protection, so more on the response side.
14:41But definitely what we see is that there's going to be a huge need to support Venezuela.
14:46The figures speak for themselves in terms of deceased people, but also especially of the disappeared people or missing people
14:52still.
14:53So, what we see is that there is in the loom massive health crisis that will unfold in the coming
15:00days or weeks or so, because the weather is extremely hot, extremely humid.
15:04So, we suspect now that health will be the critical issue for the next weeks to come.
15:12Now, moving on, according to fresh data from the Eurobarometer, Europeans are increasingly viewing the European Union as a source
15:18of stability, despite growing anxiety about the state of the world.
15:22But with inflation, unpredictable world events, and of course the cost of living crisis, pessimism is rife.
15:29Our Jakob Janis reports.
15:32A spectre is again haunting Europe, but this time that spectre is anxiety.
15:37According to the newly released Eurobarometer, which surveyed over 26,000 respondents this spring,
15:43inflation and the cost of living have jumped to become again the top priority, but this time for almost half
15:49of EU citizens.
15:50But hey, whether you live in Lisbon or Budapest, your reporter is quite sure you've noticed that.
15:55But the numbers also reveal other truths, so let's break them down together.
16:01The EU experiences now a quiet crisis of confidence.
16:05Nearly a third of all Europeans now expect their personal standard of living to deteriorate over the next five years.
16:11And that pessimism reveals a stark generational divide.
16:14While almost one in five of young people brace for tougher times,
16:18that economic anxiety climbs to one in three among those age 55 and over.
16:23And Western European heavyweights are leading the charts.
16:26In France, 44% of citizens expect a decline.
16:30Germany and Austria are equally gloomy,
16:32with 38% of their citizens bracing for a drop in their standard of living.
16:37But if we zoom out to Central Eastern Europe, the outlook remains remarkably resilient.
16:41In Poland and Hungary, fewer than one in ten people expect their situation to worsen.
16:46And where life gets tougher, faith in Brussels goes down as well.
16:51One third of Bulgarians, Greeks and Austrians, together with 28% of French and Italian respondents,
16:57now declare their nations have not benefited from EU membership.
17:00But here goes the surprise.
17:02Despite the economic gloom, optimism for the future of the EU stands at 59%,
17:07which is much higher than the outlook for the wider world, or even citizens' own countries.
17:12And let me leave you with something positive.
17:15Three out of four still agree that their nation has benefited from the bloc,
17:18and view the EU as a vital place of stability in a troubled world.
17:23And all of that leaves the continent suspended.
17:28Uncertainty and hope.
17:30So let's hope that this uncertainty will be over soon.
17:38And now it's time for something a little bit lighter, our brief World Cup update.
17:47The US team will join its other two co-hosts in the round of 16,
17:51after their win over Bosnia-Herzegovina.
17:54England and Belgium also threw.
17:56The three Lions won a tight match against the Democratic Republic of Congo, 2-1.
18:01And Belgium's win against Senegal was even tighter,
18:04after coming back from two goals down.
18:06They went into extra time and scored a last-minute penalty.
18:10And tonight, of course, we've two European duels.
18:13Spain will take on Austria,
18:14and Portugal will play Croatia and Switzerland, then against Algeria.
18:19Enjoy the games.
18:20Well, that brings this edition of Europe Today to an end.
18:23Thank you so much for tuning in, as always.
18:25Have a great day, and I'll see you soon here on Europe News.
18:52I'll see you soon.
18:57Have a great day, and I'll see you soon here on theIS.
19:10Bye.
