Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis announced a relief package of 2.2 billion euros for 2027, equal to roughly one percent of the country's economic output. [^1]

The package comes as the Czech Republic faces its own fiscal standoff. The National Budget Council (NRR), an expert body overseeing Czech fiscal responsibility, sharply criticized the Ministry of Finance's 2027 budget proposal, objecting to exemptions for the government and stating that fiscal rules should not adapt to the budget process. [^2]

Czech Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Alena Schillerová defended the proposal's 389 billion crown deficit, citing a healthcare system on the brink of collapse, the second most expensive energy in the EU, a 30% drop in real wages, and accounting frauds exceeding 50 billion crowns. She said the deficit could not be reduced immediately. [^3]

Representatives of the Czech parliamentary opposition submitted a proposal to the Constitutional Court to annul parts of the budget responsibility law. [^4]
