It was hard, but it's done! The leaders of the 27 countries of the European Union reached an agreement on Tuesday on a historic post-coronavirus stimulus package. On the fifth day of a marathon summit in Brussels, it was the President of the European Council Charles Michel who announced it on Twitter.
“Deal! », Wrote the Belgian. The object of a fierce battle between the “frugal” countries and the Franco-German couple, this 750 billion euro plan creates for the first time a common debt, and is backed by a multi-year EU budget (2021 -2027) of 1.074 billion euros.
A few seconds after the announcement of Charles Michel, Emmanuel Macron greeted him "a historic day".
Historic day for Europe!
