Are you actually EU? You know we are not one homogeneous state right? There are currently 27 nations, in which policy and circumstance varies between even at a regional level. There is immense poverty in some nations, notably Spain or Italy, but even Germany. I've seen it first hand, its heartbreaking.

Thanks for sharing this chart. I am amazed how Poland has less poverty than Germany. Maybe is East Germany bringing the average down for the entire country? Even then, still very impressive.
