> EU is trying to protect the rights of its citizens for good Western Europe is not the entire EU. Czechia, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, and the rest of Eastern Europe give plenty of leeway to businesses who bring FDI in. The Czech government indirectly pushed a former employer of mine to force employees back into the office from remote work by threatening to withhold tax credits they used to establish a tech/outsourcing center in Praha. Plenty of similar stories in Romania, Bulgaria, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, etc. Oh, and the SEZs and Law Firms that the investment agencies made us use were always very closely connected to the incumbent poltical parties (and either indirectly or directly owned by them) You can take Eastern Europe out of the Warsaw Pact, but you can't take the Warsaw Pact out of Easrern Europe's political and business establishment
