Comment<\/em><\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The lodging of a criminal complaint against European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen follows the European Public Prosecutor\u2019s Office opening an investigation<\/a> into the European Union\u2019s COVID-19 vaccine purchases.<\/p>\n

Even prior to this development, however, the European Ombudsman had already charged the Commission \u2013 Europe\u2019s executive body \u2013 with maladministration<\/a>, for failing to search for crucial text messages between von der Leyen and Albert Bourla, CEO of drug and vaccine manufacturer Pfizer. The European Court of Auditors has similarly accused<\/a> the Commission of refusing to release details of how Europe\u2019s massive COVID-19 vaccine contract with Pfizer was negotiated.<\/p>\n

Notably, therefore \u2013 seemingly in a desperate attempt to prevent the facts from emerging \u2013 the top ranks of the European Parliament have blocked<\/a> a public cross-examination of von der Leyen over her role in negotiating the deal with Pfizer. Instead, any questioning that does take place will now be conducted behind closed doors.<\/p>\n

To learn how the \u2018Qatargate\u2019 scandal could potentially signal the beginning of the end for the so-called \u2018European Union,\u2019 see this article<\/a> on our website.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
