The EU isn't about making poor people better off, it's about enabling them to better be exploited by those in power with scraps being given to them to keep them happy and create the illusion of benevolent intent. Freedom of movement is key to doing that - a nice cheap mobile workforce ready to move around undercutting other people, keeping operating costs down and boosting profits for the rich/powerful and their politician mates.
