The proposal amounts to 1.16% of the EU's gross national income. This review represents a significant increase of more than 30% compared to the volume of the current multiannual financial framework (as the European budget is known), which reaches approximately 47% when taking inflation into account. I want to emphasize that almost all budget programs experience an increase in our negotiation proposal.

David Alandete wrote that the media decided which news to highlight, how much space to give it, and for how long, and argued that those decisions were fundamental. He stated that the case of Maricarmen, her eviction, and her death deserved thorough and respectful information, but questioned why some media outlets dedicated extraordinary coverage to them precisely during the pre-electoral period. He asked why this case was emphasized over others, and why certain responsible parties were pointed out without examining what the government had done after eight years in power. Alandete claimed that the housing problem was real and serious, and insisted that it should be addressed with more than just stories selected for their political utility. He contrasted independent journalism, which he said investigated and put things in context, with militant journalism, which he accused of selecting and amplifying stories. He also said that when the priorities of this journalism systematically matched those of the power, it was reasonable to ask who was setting the agenda. In his opinion, journalism should not preach moral sermons or indicate when and where to be outraged, but inform about everything that was happening, even when the facts were uncomfortable for those in power. #Periodismo #Vivienda #Desahucios (translated)

"I am aware that it is not easy to reconcile all the restrictions. I am also aware of the difficult budgetary situation of the Member States. But I would like to warn against major cuts.

And I know that this Chamber will support me on this point." In the European Parliament, Von der Leyen warned "against major cuts," as "there is a risk of drastically cutting fundamental priorities that we have all agreed upon together." #PresupuestoEuropeo #VonDerLeyen #UniónEuropea (translated)
