In a press release published on July 14 and consulted by Lecourrier-du-soir.com , Emily O'Reilly, mediator of the European Union, attacked the European Commission after the revelation that the President of the Commission of the EU, Ursula Von Der Leyen, lost her text exchanges with Albert Bourla, CEO of Pfizer, regarding contracts related to vaccines
Between the European Commission and the mediator of the EU, the rag is burning. Indeed, everything starts from a revelation made two weeks ago by the press which informed us that the President of the European Commission, Von Der Leyen, lost her private exchanges with Pfizer concerning the supply contracts for vaccines.
The case had sparked the anger of the press, which demanded that these exchanges be made public in the name of Freedom of Information. Two weeks after this affair, it is the EU mediator who takes up the subject in an official press release consulted by Lecourrier-du-soir.com .
Indeed, in the document consulted by our media, the mediator Emily O'Reilly expresses her great disappointment and denounces poor management. In her press release, she will go so far as to speak of an “alarm signal”. “The EU Ombudsman's investigation into the handling of messages between the President of the EU Commission and the CEO of Pfizer is a wake-up call for all EU institutions,” writes- she.
In her statement, the EU Ombudsman said that the handling of this case by the Commission of the European Union leaves a “regrettable impression of a European institution which is not open on matters of highly public interest. strategic”.
