Scholz wants speedy conclusion to EU budget

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has called for a speedy conclusion to the reorganization of the EU budget and expressed clear criticism of the work so far. „More intensity needs to be put into this task so that we manage to get it done in time,“ Scholz said at the end of the EU summit last Friday. After the meeting of heads of state and government, the chancellor saw unity only on additional support for Ukraine. „This has already been voiced by everyone, so we can take the relevant decisions,“ Scholz said, despite opposition from Hungary’s head of government Viktor Orbán.
