Spain will seek the highest amount possible in transfers from the European Union's coronavirus emergency funds, government spokeswoman Maria Jesus Montero said.

“We will keep fighting so that the transfers are the largest possible and so it doesn't mean debt for Spain's government,” she told a news conference following the weekly cabinet meeting.

The European Commission will propose on Wednesday its blueprint for the 27-nation bloc's budget, known as the Multiannual Financial Framework and worth around a trillion euros, and the accompanying coronavirus Recovery Fund.
