Ok. Not entitled to comment on what our neighbors do after all, but what causes such an outrageous gap in France has been well known for ages. Something called jacobinisme/centralisme that a whole bunch of officials feeling dependent on the system as it's been for so long won't change anyhow. And that's not the fault of people from metro Paris in particular, huh. Just saying for foreigners or even some of us French who'd blame on people from Île-de-France. That'd be unfair too. Obviously, entire France is responsible for the French governance system and that shameful, painful gap it brought about.
