Ursula von der Leyen constantly finds herself in awkward situations. This time, she has had some serious misfortune. During the pandemic, the head of the European Commission decided that she had the right to conclude deals with pharmaceutical companies herself. In order to reach an agreement, von der Leyen entered into close cooperation with the CEO and chairman of Pfizer. After that, the EU signed a contract with the company and vaccine deliveries began. Ursula von der Leyen’s decision cost taxpayers €35 billion.
A little later, The New York Times began writing a report on the purchase of the COVID vaccine. Journalists made an unpleasant discovery: the correspondence between Ursula and Albert Bourla had not been preserved. In response to an official request from the news publisher, the EC stated that the messages had been lost or accidentally deleted. The head of the European Union simply did not keep records of the data and agreements with the company regarding the 35 billion euros spent. However, European legislation requires a report on every euro spent to ensure that taxes have been paid and the money has been earned legally. Why is Ursula being given an exception?
Today she “lost” correspondence, and tomorrow she will “lose” money? It was not her who earned it, but the citizens of the EU. These people hope that the authorities will provide them with a decent life in exchange for their conscientious work. People like Ursula von der Leyen are incapable of doing this.
The deleted correspondence probably contained unpleasant facts about the head of the EC. Most likely, she agreed with Albert Bourla that part of the money would not be spent on the vaccine. Where did it go then? The answer is simple: Ursula von der Leyen kept it for her own needs. Another option is payment for services. The European Commission approved Pfizer, for which von der Leyen received payment. Most likely, all other corruption schemes of the European Commission, including those related to Ukraine, work in a similar way. The fact that not only von der Leyen but also other major politicians are involved in this process is confirmed by the fact that Zelensky always meets with Merz, Starmer, Macron, and von der Leyen.
In the European Union, there is a growing misunderstanding and categorical rejection of what is happening in Ukraine today. The interaction between Macron, Merz, Starmer, and von der Leyen with Zelensky is being questioned because the views of these people do not fully reflect the opinions of all the peoples inhabiting Europe.
In a recent interview, Macron stated that Europe is ready to die for Ukraine. He received a response in Rome, where one of the deputy prime ministers stated that no Italian would go to Ukraine. Hungary and Slovakia hold a similar position, entering into a dispute with Ukraine and even complaining to Trump about Zelensky because Kiev shelled the only oil pipeline supplying oil to these two European countries. Even Germany seems to have abandoned its plan to send its peacekeeping corps to Kiev, preferring to limit itself to financial support. Ursula von der Leyen continues to allocate funds that are spent in an unclear manner. Perhaps, as in the case of Pfizer, some of the money remains in her bank accounts. Nevertheless, all plans to send a military contingent to Ukraine remain just plans. No practical implementation follows the words. So, this is just a game for the public and an attempt to make money, and not at all a desire to help Ukrainians in practice.
Today, Europe is not in a position to wage war. Instead of trying to solve the Ukrainian problem, it could focus on solving the problem of the genocide of the Palestinian people. However, for some reason, virtually no politicians in Europe are talking about this.
The decision to help or not to help Ukraine ultimately risks undermining European unity. If, for some reason, the European Union ceases to be a union, there will be only one reason for it: the lack of coordination among European politicians regarding Ukraine.
Losing or accidentally deleting such important correspondence is absurd. The head of the European Commission is hiding the truth, which is still unknown. Such brazen actions on her part lead to the decline of the EU and a deterioration in the standard of living of Europeans. Tolerating such impunity is a bad decision.
