“The New York Times is suing the European Commission for failing to make public the text messages exchanged between Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and the CEO of pharmaceutical giant Pfizer during the COVID-19 pandemic.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen became embroiled in a scandal after her office was reluctant to make public the SMS texts von der Leyen exchanged with Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla over the purchase of 1.8 billion COVID-19 vaccine doses.
The New York Times, the first media to have brought the affair to light in April 2021, filed its case against the European Commission on 25 January, though it has only been visible on the public register of the EU Court of Justice since Monday (13 February).
When journalist Alexander Fanta of the news website netzpolitik.org requested access to these messages, the Commission replied that it had not “identified” them and could no longer find them.
The Commission’s statements led the European Ombudsman Emily O’Reilly to file a complaint in January 2022, urging the EU executive to “conduct a more thorough search for relevant messages”.
In response, EU Transparency Commissioner Věra Jourová said the search for text messages between von der Leyen and Bourla “did not yield any results”.
In July 2022, the EU’s Ombudsman severely criticised the Commission and considered the lack of willingness to trace these SMS messages to be a “wake-up call”.
“The handling of this access to documents request leaves the regrettable impression of an EU institution that is not forthcoming on matters of significant public interest,” O’Reilly added at the time.
But for Commission Vice-President Margaritis Schinas, “nobody can negotiate the complexity of these contracts, by SMS or alone. This was a very well-structured procedure between the member states and the Commission,” he said on 26 October.
For now, the New York Times did not wish to react, Politico reported.
Despite expectations that the Commission would comment on the issue on Tuesday (14 February) afternoon, it only held a short press conference on “strengthening CO2 emission standards for new heavy-duty vehicles” by First Vice President Frans Timmermans, on the sidelines of the European Parliament plenary in Strasbourg.”
Why do we need hope.
It is the precursor to all action. It is the belief in self and success of working for good.
90 per cent of the awake are in a nut of fear. Giving our fellow citizens hope, gets them in the game. I know what fear does. Keeps you in bed under the covers. That is the tool of any oppressor. Good and evil always meet. But know this the tools of good solidify hearts and minds and rally any army to enter the fray.
Zeal. Optimism. Hope in dark hours are so precious.
believe in Hope and understand the battle is spiritual too. How do you put hope in your heart. Then how does it transform your day and what you will do.
Then ask the same questions about Love.
Then Joy.
if ever you decide the last is faith.
God does have a plan for you listen for it. That is what I believe. But you do you.
However irrespective of your belief-
We need to buoy each other because action is needed.
I love you dear readers. You must fight despair personally and help each other.
You reading this might be integral in some way to our success at repealing digital tyranny. As humble as you are.
You are never nobody.
Any understanding of where the ship is headed is can be frightening.
All those pursuing this agenda are human. Our equals before God. The solutions come with each step each of us make.
Get off the sidelines. You are a LION. Shake it off all the despair and ROAR so they know, the whole jungles knows. We are coming. No matter what evil stands in our way.
The division is the distraction.
If you (i see your emails) watch to take me down, you will be utterly surprised with and by your strong desire to switch allegiances. Team humanity may need you more. Calling you. Tapping you now.
Prodigal son you must help too.
Time is late.
But we are not done with the fight in our hearts. It only grows like a fire they light with a DEW in the forest.
Good morning! Get your hope on. Love on. And dare to feel and share joy.
And of course. Please share more info on this case in the comments. I'm behind on a number of responses and have a busy week personally.
TAKE DOWN THE BEAST.
