Germany's Merz says current EU budget proposals unaffordable BRUSSELS, June 19 (Reuters) - German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on Friday that the current proposals for the European Union's budget were unaffordable, underlining the split within the 27-member bloc over its 7-year funding plan.
Speaking after a summit in Brussels, he said what was so far on the table was "not feasible. It's not affordable."
