  "account": "The recent remarks by Ursula von der Leyen at her address on the state of the Union have sparked a flurry of speculation among journalists and EU observers. The idea of a European Security Council emerged from her speech, but the true intentions behind this proposal remain unclear. Some envision a European Union akin to the United Nations, while others prefer to see it as a new NATO. Regardless, the prevailing sentiment is that this would merely add another tool, mechanism, or body to the EU's already complex framework.\n\nThis commentary delves into the financial implications of such a move. Observers suggest that the solution to every new challenge facing the EU is an additional injection of funds. The current focus is on the new Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF), the budget for the years following 2027. The EU member states are currently grappling with how to allocate resources for defense, competitiveness, climate change, migration, and support for Ukraine. However, it is rarely mentioned how these funds will be allocated to address specific tasks.",
