Last piece of the Pfizergate: the ruling of the European Court doubts the transparency of the EU and the secret SMS of Von der Leyen with Bourla
It is the mystery of the mysteries. The enigma that surrounds Ursula von der leyen And that marks his career in the Brussels buildings. The disturbing case of SMS on vaccines. The main episode that symbolizes the total will and the lack of transparency of the bureaucrats it is represented by the string of Secret telephone messages that the head of the Europe Commission sent to the CEO of Pfizer Albert Bourla. In those sms, 2021 dated, von der leyen He would discuss European contracts of 35 billion euros for 1.8 billion doses of anti -vocal vaccines.
But on the real content of those messages it was only possible to fantasizeas in a Fanta-political yellowbecause the President of the Commission He never wanted to reveal its nature. It was said that they did not existso long as they were there but they had been eliminatedso long as they were not relevant. A blanket of darkness on the truthwith the mainstream newspapers that they drank every justification, one after the other.
Today comes a sentence in its historical wayhowever snubbed by a large part of the press. There Court of European Justice condemned Von der Leyen for denied the New York Times access to those sms. “All the documents of the European institutions should be accessible to the public – the European judges write -. And Brussels has not clarified if the SMS have been deleted and how. Furthermore did not explain why those messages did not contain substantial information or that would require monitoring and which conservation had to be guaranteed“.
In short, the court says one thing very simplewe are atABC of democracy and political responsibility: we are talking about the largest European saleswoman with pharmaceutical companiesand the game was managed in a manner crazy, arrogant, casualwith gods messages started from a mobile phone that then disappeared into thin air. All managed in the more total secrecyin waste to transparency values the European Commission is pride.
Obviously, behind the mystery, they remain heavy questions like boulders: Why was it all covered by? Have there been favoritisms? Why was a company favored instead of another? How was the price of the doses purchased?
We are talking about our money: Europeans, therefore also Italians. Regardless of the controversies on the effectiveness of vaccines – it’s another pair of sleeves – Stay The lack of responsibility on such an abnormal expense is chillinghowever carried out by a person – von der leyen – who for years has given us lessons on the transparency of national accounts.
Only a doubt remains: if the health emergency has been managed like this “Alongly”to the point of maintaining the Tombal secret to date (and for who knows how much more time), What will European leaders ever combine in the management of other emergencies – environmental and military – on which they are making a big voice, silent every discordant voice?
