Infact verdict: Mixed (55/100).

The claims regarding France's strategy to generate 60 billion euros in new EU revenue and the diversification of the EU's funding model are supported by evidence. France is indeed advocating for new EU-wide taxes to generate this revenue, as reported by reliable sources like Politico. However, the strategy's success is uncertain due to skepticism from other EU governments.
