The point is that the EU funders of course know this and turn a blind eye in order to keep the people in power in the regions supporting the EU. It's just how it has always been in Europe with vassals. Feudalism has always been the government of the old world, and will always be, and the people will always love it. Now get back to work so you can afford your rent or your mortgage. Funny how most all the ancestors of Europeans worked their whole life to pay the mortgage, yet it's still not paid!
