Greece’s deputy minister for foreign affairs has advocated for a bigger EU budget and joint debt in targeted sectors to address “unprecedented technological and industrial transformation” in one of the most “turbulent” times for Europe, ahead of ministerial talks on the bloc’s long-term budget on Tuesday.
The talks have so far seen a deep divide between wealthy northern states calling to slash the proposed budget, and a larger group of member states, including Greece, who want increased resources to fund priorities.
