Over 1,000 EU Citizens Join Lawsuit Against EU President Over COVID-19 Vaccine Spending
More than 1,000 EU citizens have joined the legal action against European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in the case of violations during the purchase of COVID-19 vaccines, the Belgian activist who filed the complaint, Frederic Baldan, said on Saturday. | These people include members of non-governmental organizations and professional organizations, such as trade unions of pilots, as well as Hungarian and Polish officials, the activist said. There is evidence that the vaccines approved for use in the European Union "have not been sufficiently tested" for effectiveness in combating the pandemic, although Brussels introduced restrictive measures against those who opposed mandatory vaccination.
