There was nothing out of context, i work with dozens of people that would love to be close to their families in the poorer parts of europe but inequality of the whole zone means they cant get work or good salaries. All fom has done is break these families up, fantastic job. Might have been better to bring the poorer countries up to standards in he west. I shouldnt have ti repeat myself on this issue but i feel you ignored it the first hundred times.Okay, so your initial post was inaccurate and out of context then. I shouldn't have to repeat it regularly but first the EU as a supranational organization isn't perfect, there are multiple examples of mistakes made by the member states and also the EU administration, so at no point we should consider that the EU is perfect and can't be criticized. Greece is an example of it, Greece shouldn't have been in the EU in the first place because they weren't ready for it, their economy and administration weren't ready and we put them in a position where they were bound to fail.
Now it doesn't mean that we should go the other way and act as if the EU was mainly counter productive that would be a total fallacy, from 1952 to 2018 Europe has been in its best shape politically, economically and socially. Of course we witnessed ups and downs and sometimes the answers to downs weren't appropriate but we need to keep in mind that the answers have been mainly provided by national governments and that at a supranational level member states have the last say.
