Ireland South MEPs will vote against a motion concerning the handling of COVID-19 vaccine procurement and allegations related to text messages with Pfizer's CEO. The motion was introduced mainly by MEPs from Germany, Romania, and Poland. Allegations include failure to disclose text messages in the context of a vaccine deal. Barry Cowen argues that the motion is driven by extreme political motives, potentially destabilizing the entire EU Commission amidst critical negotiations, and he expresses his broader concerns over leadership on issues like Palestine without supporting this specific motion.
The motion arises from her handling of the Covid pandemic, and contains a range of allegations relating to text messages between her and the head of the vaccine maker Pfizer.
The motion was tabled by a group of MEPs mainly from Germany, Romania and Poland, over her failure to disclose text messages with the Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla in the run-up to the multibillion-euro vaccine deal.
Barry Cowen stated that the motion would remove the entire EU Commission at a time of negotiations with the US over a trade deal.
Cowen emphasized that the motion is narrowly focused on vaccine procurement and driven by far-right forces seeking to exploit pandemic grievances.
