Wealth gap grows and solidarity fades as rebellion of rich spreads across EU - by Ian Traynor
From Antwerp to Milan, rich regions begin to resent continent's subsidy culture.
The rich bits of Europe are revolting. And it is some of the most successful and attractive cities on the continent that are in the revolutionary vanguard. From the fashion and finance mecca of Milan to the hi-tech centre of Munich, from the world's diamond capital, Antwerp, to the vibrant coastal hub of Barcelona, Europe's most dynamic cities and regions are increasingly rebelling against "subsidising" the poorer parts of their countries, demanding to keep their home-grown wealth, and causing headaches for central governments.
