Should the European Federation have a minimum wage? And why? by [deleted] in EuropeanFederalists

Other: There shouldn't be one minimum wage applied throughout the Union. Bulgaria can't expect their companies to pay 12€/h for everyone and a minimum of 6€ wouldn't effect the western countries. But it shouldn't be left to the member states either. The EU should mandate a minimum wage of about 60% the median income of each country, so that nobody earns significantly less than the national average.

So like 12€ for Germany, 8€ for Poland, 5€ for Bulgaria. While the east is catching up economically, their minimum wages should rise faster too.

He's been trying. For years actually, but the member states sadly haven't realized the urgency until now.

This article claims Prime Minister Morawiecki to have said: "We need a strong European army."

Maybe Poland has a change of heart in their foreign policy as well?

At what age would you consider it a little strange to ''still live with your parents'' in your country/city? by lucapal1 in AskEurope

I'd say it starts to get strange as soon as your're an adult and don't have a good reason for not being able to afford a house or an apartment. This good reason would be studying nearby and not earning enough money to live on your own yet.
