Swedish business lobby urges S, M, SD to block EU budget hike

Swedish business federation Företagarna calls on the Social Democrats, Moderates, and Sweden Democrats to jointly reject the European Commission's proposed EU budget, which could raise Sweden's annual EU fee by roughly 40 billion SEK. The proposal is at an early stage, and the political response in Sweden is uncertain. This signals growing domestic political friction over EU fiscal contributions, potentially influencing Sweden's stance in upcoming budget negotiations.
