    You do know that these wealthier countries pay more into the EU and the poorer countries get structural funding for infrastructure etc to help them catch up to the wealthier?

      It isn’t to help them catch up, it’s to keep them limping along without collapsing entirely, while at the same time keeping them dependent so they don’t think of trying to escape. It has the same function as the IMF/World Bank.

        Lol, no. It’s to help them catch up so they can purchase products the wealthier countries sell. It’s mutually beneficial.

          And yet they never catch up. Why do you think that is?

          The goal is to keep them weak and dependent, not help them stand as equals with France and Germany.
