The European Parliament rejected the Council's position on the draft general budget of the European Union for 2025, refusing the proposed spending.

This means the budget as proposed by the Council was not approved, and the spending plans were turned down.

The Parliament's resolution had called for a people-centred budget with investments in areas like public health, housing, and the environment, and for support to Ukraine and agriculture.
