Moedas, president of the Committee of the Regions, and 20 mayors oppose cuts to the European Union budget

The Mayor of Lisbon, the president of the European Committee of the Regions, and mayors of other European capitals have written to the EU Council to oppose proposed budget cuts for the 2028-2034 Multiannual Financial Framework. They argue that reducing the budget would threaten investment in areas like housing, climate resilience, and transport, and that the financial impact of any cuts should be made transparent before decisions are finalized.
