MADRID (Reuters) – Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said on Tuesday he was confident the European Union would find a solution by year-end to overcome opposition from Hungary and Poland to the adoption of the 2021-2027 budget and recovery package.

“I see no other option … I am confident we will reach an agreement before the end of the year,” he told a video conference on foreign policy.
