What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The government prioritized enhancing the state's economic security and promoting long-term growth in its budget. It committed €20 billion in government investment this year, which is set to increase by almost 15% in 2027. Some of this investment is allocated to the start-up of MetroLink. The budget also increased reliance on corporation tax and reversed the policy on tackling climate change, specifically regarding the carbon tax.
