Another important goal achieved was to increase funding for farmers and rural areas, which I will continue in the coming years. I have also contributed to changes in the recovery and resilience plans. Today, 10% of the funds go to education in the European Union”, he explained.

Priorities for the future: More European funds, subsidies for farmers end equal treatment for all EU citizens
