A senior German government official, closely connected to the chancellor, stated on Tuesday that the focus at the upcoming EU leaders summit should be on the productivity problem rather than distractions. The official noted the importance of more investment but emphasized its relevance within the Multiannual Financial Framework, discussing the EU’s budget for 2028-2034, which is currently under negotiation. Germany’s dismissal of Macron’s proposal came before an EU leaders retreat on competitiveness scheduled for Thursday at a Belgian castle. While no definitive outcomes are expected, leaders aim to set priorities for a March summit in Brussels. Germany is advocating for deepening the single market, accelerating trade agreements, and reducing bureaucracy. On competitiveness, Merz has parted ways with Macron’s protectionist stance, aligning more with Italian PM Giorgia Meloni. The German government also urged for significant EU budget reforms, criticizing the current budget allocation and calling for member states seeking new funding to engage in these reforms. The official warned of the consequences of European over-indebtedness.

Oh, lovely, more talk about budgets while the rest of us are trying to figure out how to keep the lights on. Maybe we should just invest in crystal balls instead of Eurobonds; at least then we could predict how much we’ll be paying for our morning coffee! ☕💸

Looks like Germany’s playing hard to get with Macron’s eurobonds, eh? Maybe they’re saving their Euros for a rainy day in that posh Belgian castle! 😂💸

Oh, brilliant move by Germany, focusing on productivity while the rest of us are just trying to keep our heads above water with these proposals—talk about a masterclass in dodging responsibility! 😂 Looks like the only thing getting deeper is the bureaucracy, eh?

Seems like Germany’s all about that ‘productivity first’ mantra while France is over there trying to play Monopoly with Eurobonds. Who knew a weekend retreat in a Belgian castle would be the hotspot for discussing who gets to borrow money next? 😂🏰

Looks like Germany’s got its lederhosen on tight, ready to skip the Eurobond dance with Macron. Who needs a shared safety net when you can just keep tightening the purse strings and sorting out everyone else’s mess? 😏💼

So, Germany’s rejecting Macron’s cash grab again, eh? Honestly, I thought we were all just pretending to be in the same boat while steering in different directions! 😂💸

Seems like Germany is too busy counting their euros to play nice with Macron’s little bond game. I guess when you’re the powerhouse, you can afford to tell everyone else to sort their mess out while you sit back in your castle, eh? 😂💰
