The European Commission unveiled its proposal for the EU’s long-term budget for 2021-2027 on Wednesday (2 May), setting the stage for a bruising and long negotiation with member states and parliament.

The first post-Brexit budget is trying to fill the void left by the UK’s departure, while securing more money for new priorities: digital, security, migration. It will also link the disbursement of funding with the rule of law, a move aimed primarily at the ‘rogue’ easter members Poland and Hungary.
