FORBES.SK: BRUSSELS DEMANDS MORE MONEY – HIGHER SPENDING AND A NEW TAX FOR SLOVAKIA AT STAKE
In Forbes.sk, the European Commission’s proposal for a €1.763 trillion Multiannual Financial Framework (2028–2034) – a substantial increase on the previous period – is examined in the context of higher spending and new own resources that would also affect Slovakia. The article highlights the risks of expanded EU-level taxation and increased fiscal transfers, consistent with the warnings raised in Epicenter’s Alternative EU Budget study, which calls for capping the budget at around 1% of GNI, rejecting permanent new revenue streams, and prioritising competitiveness and the Single Market over an ever-larger central budget.
