There are 30 year olds now in Poland who have no memory of communism and the bad economics of the ‘90s. European corporate nearshoring has brought prosperity to educated younger Eastern Europeans and many local companies have gained vast knowledge. Many of the uneducated have left those countries. The EU does a good job marketing the fun bits to young people. Erasmus student exchange program, etc. I can see why the EU is popular amongst them.
