#3How does that work across the EU though? Eastern Europe has minimum wages of just a few EUR/hr.

The answer is it doesn't :-)

The initiative is apparently to introduce “basic incomes”, plural, which is presumably determined based on local economic circumstances. Not sure how that reduces “regional disparities” and achieves “territorial cohesion”, though.

No reason why the UBI needs to be a flat universal rate rather than adjusted based off local economic factors.

A lazy answer if so, and a disappointing take on organizing society if that’s considered acceptable.
Maybe because "organizing society" according to some grand central plan isn't actually a very effective strategy.
Labor laws, entitlements, taxes, and other public policy are “organizing society”, and based on quality of life metrics most of Europe is crushing it. Sounds effective to me. I am an American living in a third world country in a first world suit, so I am admittedly biased.
