Oh fuck off! You Frenchies needed to pull out all the stops to force your fiscally solid neighbors into agreeing to the €1.8 trillion European coronavirus recovery plan, which boils down to transferring billions of euros from Germany/Netherlands/Austria/Scandinavia toward France/Spain/Italy.
The tldr is that your French ass is so broke that you needed to tap German money just to cope with the financial fallout of the first round of shutdowns.
This is no different than the US states having to beg the federal government for financial assistance during this (which is obtained by the total of states pooling money together).
Many states are being punished harsher than others in terms of economic impact.
I wouldn't deem Florida a broken state just because they rely heavily on cross state travel for money and everyone is stuck indoors.

This is an example of the EU functioning the way our states work, and what was an intention in it's design. (reference EU's own goals: enhance economic, social and territorial cohesion and solidarity among EU countries)
Using it as an attack on him is very odd.
