In the same way that the poorer EU nations, are propped up by money from the richer EU nations. Eg Poland benefits by a staggering 13bn Euros of net EU funding, and yet their core economy doesn't seem to be improving well enough to need less EU money year on year.
The free money gives the false impression that their economy is doing better than it actually is. There is no pressure to improve that situation themselves.
