> People don't like to be treated as second class citizens. Don't come to me, an European in Brexit Britain, hailing from a country with one of the largest and most-enduring economic diasporas in the world, to talk about the condition of migrants or second-class "feelings". The stuff you mention is largely bullshit and jokes. There has been no discrimination of Southern Italians since the late '80s, when African migrants became the (easier) target for that sort of treatment. Whereas I'm now on a fucking register and I can lose all my rights with the stroke of a pen by some populist asshole. I swear, EU27 folks don't know how good they have it. > Is it equally disproportionate, more, or less? The Marshall Plan lasted 3 years, Italy got around a billion USD. Over 20 years, Eastern Europe likely got several multiples of that - Poland alone received 11bn per year not long ago, so even adjusting for inflation the Eastern bloc is probably way ahead by now. > What kind of solidarity are you thinking of receiving? Help with migratory flows and refugees resettlement, to balance demographic pressures. Help with stemming tax evasion (I'm looking at you, Slovenia). Help that costs little and would benefit everyone in the long run.
