News / Polexit? Almost half of the Poles believe that Poland would be better off outside of the EU [548]
So, some people who live abroad and are too young to remember pre EU Poland don't appreciate the changes that have occurred.
Serbia and Croatia were roughly of equal wealth in 1989 - croatia is now. 4x richer.
Poland and ukraine were also roughly equal GDP per head in 1989 - Poland is now 4x richer.
Romania and Bulgaria are now 2x richer than Serbia, both have doubled wealth since 2007. Romania by the way is catching up fast with Poland.
The value of the EU is not in the handouts but in the opportunities it provides and which Polish business has taken full advantage of - something an Ivy League student like yourself should easily understand.
