While a serious corruption scandal surrounding the socialist representatives of the European Parliament (EP) has come to light, Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission (EC), is also being investigated in Brussels. The details of the vaccine procurement agreement concluded in 2020 are still shrouded in obscurity, despite the fact that the text messages exchanged between the President and the director of Pfizer had already come to light at that time.
The European Parliament's (EP) special committee dealing with the coronavirus pandemic (COVI) has decided to call on the chairman of the committee to appear before them in public and clarify himself in the case of suspected corruption surrounding the procurement of vaccines, according to the statement issued by the president of COVI, Kathleen Van Brempt EP representative delivered to the Brussels news portal Politico.
The European Union spent a lot on the production and procurement of vaccines during the pandemic — with public money. The European Parliament has the right to request full transparency of the processes, including the details of preliminary negotiations, said Kathleen Van Brempt.
After the outbreak of the coronavirus epidemic, Brussels concluded a contract worth 35 billion dollars in 2020 for the purchase of 1.8 billion doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine against the coronavirus with the American-German pharmaceutical company.
And in April 2021, the American newspaper The New York Times reported that Ursula von der Leyen and the director of the American Pfizer, Albert Bourla, exchanged text messages that facilitated a vaccine procurement agreement that brought huge profits to the pharmaceutical company. became the director of the pharmaceutical company Orgenesis , which works closely with Pfizer.

First of all: how interesting it is that when the case broke, von der Leyen still claimed that the text messages exchanged with Pfizer had all disappeared from his phone. It later turned out that this was not true. In addition, with some secret service work, there is no message today that cannot be retrieved, for example, on the server of a mobile service company.
The question is whether or not that particular secret service wants to use this to topple von der Leyen. He only wants to use it later, because at the moment the total overthrow of the president of the EC - together with the case of another 60 members of the EP suspected of corruption - would probably lead to the incapacitation of the entire organization.
However, since the Union is currently nothing more than the (paid) servile executor of the goals formulated by the financial background power of the United States, the global capitalists (in the words of László Bogár) will use all means to prevent its disintegration.
Not to mention, the alleged corruption scandal of Cypriot politician Stella Kyriakides is still here. The Commissioner responsible for health and food safety of the European Commission first denied that he had anything to do with Pfizer, and then it turned out that he had his own signature on certain contracts. In the meantime, 4 million euros appeared on his account "out of nowhere", which he has not been able to account for until today.
Ms. Kyriakides is alive and well in Brussels and there is no one who is interested in her slowly forgotten case.
This is how it goes.
