Meloni & Costa: Italy Draws Red Lines on EU Budget — Protect CAP, Cohesion and Reject New EU Taxes! Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni met European Council President António Costa at Palazzo Chigi in Rome as negotiations intensify over the EU’s next long-term budget for 2028–2034. Costa is visiting EU capitals to consult national leaders on the Union’s main strategic priorities, with the future Multiannual Financial Framework at the centre of the discussions. His official programme confirms meetings in Vienna, Rome and Paris on 15 September. Meloni made clear that Italy wants an EU budget capable of financing Europe’s strategic priorities — but without weakening two traditional pillars: the Common Agricultural Policy and Cohesion Policy. The meeting comes as Costa tours all 27 capitals to build consensus before the next major phase of negotiations over Europe’s future priorities and finances. #GiorgiaMeloni #Costa #EUBudget #Meloni #eudebates
