The source provides excerpts from an interview with Frédéric Baldan, a former lobbyist who filed a criminal lawsuit against European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen alleging corruption related to a massive COVID-19 vaccine deal with Pfizer. Baldan accuses von der Leyen of illegally negotiating the €35 billion agreement via text message, destroying the messages, and exhibiting a pattern of awarding dubious public contracts to private companies. The case, known as "Pfitzergate" or "Ursulagate," highlights alleged issues of lack of transparency and conflicts of interest at the highest levels of the European Union, suggesting von der Leyen is shielded from accountability. Baldan also argues that these actions are part of a broader threat to Western democracy posed by a "global COVID cartel" involving powerful organizations like the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Wellcome Trust, and the World Economic Forum. Despite facing severe personal and professional repercussions, including frozen bank accounts, Baldan insists on continuing his fight, viewing the legal battle as essential to protecting fundamental rights against what he sees as globalist agendas.
