The net median income in The Netherlands is around 6.5x of that in Bulgaria[1], or €2,834 for .nl, €389 for .bg. If we extrapolate that in reverse it would be like .nl having a median monthly net of around €16k, or a yearly of just under €200k.

As a non-Dutchie living in The Netherlands, I don't think the Dutch are inherently are better than Bulgarians.

I'd bet good money that if there was another EU country with a similar social safety net where the median salary was €200k (with correspondingly generous welfare) that a certain segment of the Dutch population would be flocking to it to defraud that government.

I don't understand why it's controversial to point out those basic realities among countries in the EEA. Nobody's claiming that there's a unique genetic link between Bulgarians and fraud, just that the economic incentives involved are all going one way.

No one here was pointing out the basic realities, he was saying that because some people in Bulgaria did some form of fraud, it paints Bulgaria in a bad light. Why? What's the relation between Bulgarians who do fraud, from the ones who don't. Anyway, have a good day
