MEPs fighting for freedom in the EU. Defending peoples' rights against Mandatory Digital Certificate
Speaking at the European Parliament debate on “The EU’s role in combating the Covid-19 pandemic: how to vaccinate the whole world” on 24.11.2021, PNTCD MEP Cristian Terheș told Health Commissioner Stella Kyriakides that “no it is the job of the European Parliament to vaccinate the whole world “, but” to legislate for the people and to exercise control over how the European Commission spends money on European citizens’.
The adoption of the Green Certificate was clearly against the interests of the citizens, so that they “cannot exercise their fundamental rights unless they have the Green Certificate”, said the MEP Terheș. “In terms of budgetary control, since the Commission has signed these contracts with vaccine companies that are not yet published [in full], how can this Parliament exercise its mandate?” Terheș added. In the context of not yet fully publishing these contracts, MEP Terheș asked Commissioner Kyriakides directly “who is responsible if people get side effects from these vaccines” and “when will you publish these contracts so that all Europeans know what they contain?” ? ”
Following repeated requests from several members of the European Parliament, the European Commission published the contracts with the vaccine companies after receiving their acceptance, but the publication was only partially done, with dozens of pages of contracts being partially or completely blackened in order to their contents were not visible. “Transparency is one of the fundamental principles of the European Union, and every day that the European Commission does not publish these contracts in full is an undermining of the cohesion and foundation of this union,” said PNTCD MEP Cristian Terheș.
