"
The truth is that the European Union had a criminal role in this epidemic management,
" judge Jordan Bardella, vice-president of the National Rally.
According to the MEP, "
we will probably take stock in a few years
", but the Union bears a responsibility for its "
refusal to close borders
" in the early days of the epidemic, and while the virus was spreading to high speed in Italy, in particular.
"
I do not want to come forward, but when an epidemic spreads in a neighboring country which has caused local lockdowns in China, and the European Union asks the Member States to keep the borders open, we can speak of a very heavy responsibility,
”said Jordan Bardella.

"Climate of mistrust"
“The European Union
also had a criminal role when it wanted to negotiate vaccines at low cost
,” continues the MEP.
On the vaccine issue, Jordan Bardella bends his position: the one who said in December to wait "
to be reassured
" to be vaccinated now believes that "
the messenger RNA technology, on which we expressed many doubts at the beginning , today seems to be the vaccine technology for which we have the best results.
With regard, for example, to the situation of Israel, which was able to vaccinate a large part of its population and allow it to live again normally.

On the other hand, the MEP specifies that he is reluctant to be vaccinated with the formula proposed by the AstraZeneca laboratory.
This has been discredited by cases of atypical thrombosis, which it is suspected of causing.
Its injection was even suspended for a time in the European Union, before being authorized again.
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) believes that the benefit-risk balance still tilts in favor of the vaccine.
“
But when we changed our mind ten times on this vaccine.
Obviously this creates a climate of mistrust,
