Source? I don’t think you are correct. I’m French living in the US. Median net income is around 1,700 euro. Most people I know make around 1300-1900. And many retired are bellow 1k euro... People are pissed because they are struggling, and have nothing left at the end of the month. Politicians keep rising taxes, while cutting it for the rich.

Prices aren't the same across EU. There are already different across France. Life is more expensive in Paris than in any other French city for example.

Tell that to the millions of retired people and people making minimum wage with less than 1200 euros per month to live with a rent of 600-700 euros.
