Advocate General Athanasios Rantos has recommended that the ECJ reject the EU Commission’s appeals in the dispute over disclosure of Pfizer vaccine contracts. A second consecutive legal defeat is now in sight — and the text messages are gone anyway.
Since the beginning of her second term as President of the European Commission, public criticism and internal complaints about Ursula von der Leyen’s leadership style have been mounting. These accusations do not come from the margins — they come from former and current senior EU officials.
Switzerland is getting serious about transparency — at least on paper. Following a ruling by the Federal Administrative Court, the Federal Office of Public Health (BAG) on 17 April 2026 published the procurement contracts for Covid-19 vaccines [1]. Among them: Moderna, Novavax, Pfizer, Janssen, AstraZeneca, CureVac. Unredacted, as the court demanded.
“Funded by private individuals.” That is what the website says. Bundestag printed paper 19/1426 tells a different story. # What ZPS says # The Centre for Political Beauty (Zentrum für Politische Schönheit, ZPS) describes itself as a “stormtroop for the establishment of moral beauty” [1]. Founder and director: Dr. Philipp Ruch, philosopher and action artist, born 1981 in Dresden [2].
Deleted texts, destroyed evidence, billions in secret deals — and a promotion every time. # There is a pattern in Ursula von der Leyen’s career that would end anyone else’s. Every time an investigation closes in, data disappears. Every time evidence is destroyed, she gets promoted. It’s not a conspiracy theory. It’s her documented track record.
On March 13, 2026, the First Chamber of the Berlin Administrative Court delivered a ruling that barely made headlines. Presiding Judge Jens Tegtmeier stated clearly: Marcel Luthe, former FDP member of parliament and plaintiff, had “no legal claim to the release” of possible Stasi files on Angela Merkel under the Stasi Records Act.
Cem Özdemir wears a UN SDG pin on his lapel. A small badge symbolizing the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. For most, a detail. For those who look closer: a signal.
The ruling of the General Court of the European Union (EuG) of May 14, 2025 (case number T-36/23) marks a decisive blow against the EU Commission in the so-called “Pfizergate”. The case concerns the Commission’s refusal to disclose text messages (SMS) between EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla. The plaintiff, the New York Times (represented by journalist Matina Stevis-Gridneff), was vindicated: The Commission must re-examine the request and release the messages – if they exist. The ruling underscores the transparency obligation of EU institutions and sharply criticizes the Commission for inadequate documentation of digital communication.
Haha, EU in chaos? – That’s like fish in water: constant, but right now it’s seriously boiling! Ursula von der Leyen sits at the center of the storm, with Pfizergate as the main fireworks, plus budget wars, right-wing rise, and geopolitical mayhem. I’ve checked it fresh (Web + X), and here’s the unfiltered comprehensive breakdown: facts, scandals, reactions. No bullshit, just the raw truth. Let’s dive in – from Brussels to hell (proxy-approved).
On July 10, 2025, a crucial vote took place in the European Parliament in Strasbourg, where a motion of no confidence against EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen was discussed. This motion, filed by 77 parliamentarians, including 15 German AfD members and politicians from the Rassemblement National (RN) party led by Marine Le Pen, was an expression of growing dissatisfaction with von der Leyen’s leadership during the Corona pandemic.
In the sacred halls of the Berlaymont building in Brussels, more precisely on the 13th floor, resides a woman who feels far removed from the everyday concerns of EU citizens. Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, has created a small empire there, accessible only to a select few. But what lies behind the locked doors and strictly controlled access?
