Von der Leyen Defends Vaccine Contracts Amid No-Confidence Vote | JQJO

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen defended her handling of vaccine contracts during a no-confidence vote in the European Parliament. Right-wing MEPs, citing the "Pfizergate" scandal, accused her of a lack of transparency regarding negotiations with vaccine producers. Von der Leyen maintained the contracts were negotiated openly with member states and served European interests, rejecting claims of impropriety. Despite calls for transparency, the full details of the contracts may remain undisclosed.
