From the Guardian this morning:

‘A summit to fix the EU’s long-term budget looked in danger of ending in failure after less than a day of talks, with leaders miles apart on how to fill the €75bn (£63bn) hole left by Brexit.

Mark Rutte, the Dutch prime minister, has led the charge of the frugal states against the more expansive demands of the so-called “friends of cohesion” group, who are the largest recipients of funds for the development of the EU’s poorest countries.“

27 member states pulling in different directions. This will be a real test of their cohesion and the plans for the future.

My Bulgarian acquaintances were very upset by what has happened in their country and then I heard from A Czech person that it is similar there.
At least before everyone was in the same boat and now very different.
