Luxembourg backs EU investment but questions new revenue plans

Ahead of talks on the EU's 2028–2034 budget, Prime Minister Luc Frieden says Luxembourg belongs neither to countries seeking substantially higher spending nor to those demanding deep cuts. The government wants investment in new priorities without neglecting established programmes, but has reservations about corporate-related financing. It is seeking an agreement by the end of 2026.
