How it started
Greece seeks fiscal flexibility amid Eurogroup discussions on EU funding
What happened
During Eurogroup discussions, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis warned that Greece would not accept cuts to EU farm and cohesion funding and stated he could not promise a budget deal by December. Mitsotakis requested more fiscal flexibility for targeted, temporary measures, noting that Greece has room to spend unlike some other EU countries. Separately, the Eurogroup adopted a work programme through June 2027, prioritizing competitiveness and economic sovereignty.
