Instead of crying about racism everywhere you should thanks eu for the competitve "liberated" market that makes everything a big mess.
I have a friend in here, truck driver, who cant get a decent salary because they always hire polish, romanian and others cheap euro drivers instead.
He went to sweiss doing uber courses. underpaid aswell (2500 for sweiss is very low to survive alone) but still better than 1300 euros/month for 60 hrs/week of work in france.
Countries such as yours are clear winner of that rather new market (if you take eu history into account) while countries like france are net losers, giving like 20b a year to get nothing in return.
Leechers will still complain ofc
Blaming the eastern Europeans again...
There are multiple reasons why worker situation in France is worse.
First of all, before it was just western countries who were living a decent life, while the rest of world were either your servants or villagers who didnt consume anything.
Now there are billions of people who want to live the rich, who want to consume resources and get at least decently paid. Its getting even, and its natural you guys arent "unique" anymore.
Second of all, there is a robotization of industry, and people self service themselves on the internet.
Third of all, corporations are international and stronger than relatively small countries. If you want to tax company in country A, they will tell you "ok, we go country B that promised us not taxes and even some donation to build offices there".
Effectively corporations like Apple are pretty much untaxed.
They "pay" there taxes in tax heaven islands, where the tax for foreign companies is usually around 0%.
There are more reasons, like people have to buy a new phone every year, we are trying to fight global warming etc.
Yet you again blame the eastern Europeans, this is unfair, its just coincidence we get out of Russian hands when the above things started happening.
You should be glad we joined EU and build a bigger European union together. In today world, dominated by big countries like China, USA, maybe India in the future, bigger is better.
Not to mention we are first on the frontline protecting west Europe from illegal immigrants that Lukashenka brings from all over the world and throws over the EU border, also once the Russians decide to attack west, the war will be in our lands, not Germany and France, giving you guys an extra layer of security.
Not to mention the workforce, that your companies can use at a low cost and increased reliability.
But its not only cheap workforce, we are quality also:
our game developers made witcher and cyberpunk games, our krab artillery and war drones and pioruns are amongst the best equipment there is in Ukraine currently, our banking is modern, we have better auction site than eBay over here, many people have fotovoltaics at their homes to make clean energy etc.
So I disagree when you call us leechers. Our country budget is 200bln EUR, so 13bln from EU is like 6% only.
Sure its nice to get some money, but its not that much to call us leechers, really.
