Independent Member of the European Parliament Luis-Vicențiu Lazarus (NI), after Romania lost its lawsuit against Pfizer: “At the time this contract was signed, the European Commission claims it asked Romania,” he said.

Luis-Vicențiu Lazarus (NI): Big Pharma is suing us for 600 million euros. That’s roughly the cost of three hospitals, built from the ground up, complete with equipment.

“Romania has just lost the lawsuit to Pfizer, so Big Pharma is powerful, exactly as we predicted. During the pandemic, Big Pharma did its thing with us; Big Pharma took our money; Big Pharma fooled us with the vaccines; and the moment we got angry and said we don’t want to give you our money anymore, okay? Go away with your vaccines and your two-bit pandemic, which ended exactly on the day the war in Ukraine began. Come on, we’ve figured it out—goodbye, bye! Okay, it’s not like I didn’t tell you. Or it’s not like I didn’t figure it out from day one, but it doesn’t matter anymore.

What matters is that Big Pharma wants 600 million euros from Romania and 1.3 billion from Poland. And the ruling is enforceable, even though it’s not final, but that doesn’t matter. As long as it’s enforceable, you could end up with these guys coming after you. What’s the problem? Amazing!

Now let’s ask the question: how did this contract come about? This contract came about very simply—Ursula and her wonderful Commission just decided to sign the contract. Just like that—what’s the problem? When this contract was signed, the European Commission claims it asked Romania. Who in Romania could they have asked? Iohannis, perhaps? Cîțu? Voiculescu? That shady organization the SRI set up there with Arafat and all those political thugs—who could they have asked? But does it even matter? No one asks us. No, they order us, just as I’ve always told you, and under these circumstances here we are, part of a contract we didn’t sign and which, of course, the Romanian people would never have agreed to.

In conclusion, folks, the question is this: What should we do now? What should we do? Should we not pay? Should we pay? Well, let the politicians solve this problem. Come on, now dust off all these guys and sort it out with them. Ah, but did you actually put together a case file? Where is that file accusing Cîțu and Voiculescu? And now, let me tell you something, because Mr. Voiculescu is a colleague of mine in Brussels. Once, while on a plane, I asked him, “Mr. Voiculescu, what’s the deal with that case?” “I have no problem with it; from my point of view, I’m completely innocent—I didn’t sign anything.” “Me, but who?” “Well, talk to Cîțu.”

Cîțu, caught in a tight spot at one point, was asked, “Sir, what’s the deal with that case you’re involved in? And you need to find a way to account for the billion—because there’s a billion involved in that case—what’s the situation?” Well, what’s the deal? I don’t have any problem. Ask Ursula. What do you know? During a session at the Parliament in Strasbourg—I think it was in the plenary—and Ursula was there, I raised this question. Shouldn’t Ms. Ursula be questioned in the Romanian vaccine case? Because Cîțu and Voiculescu are under investigation, and they’re blaming her. Ursula didn’t say a word; she just played it cool. By the time Ursula is questioned in the Romanian vaccine case, I’m afraid Romania will have to pay 600 million euros.

Do you know how much 600 million euros is? About three hospitals, built from the ground up and fully equipped. Never mind, we’ll just give it to those folks at Pfizer. Because Pfizer is Big Pharma, and Big Pharma is more powerful than any state. So, when I told you that it was nothing more than a plunder, nothing more than a theft of state budgets from the European Union, how was that? Forget that whoever had the nerve—we once had the nerve not to pay—now has to pay? What are we supposed to do now, ladies and gentlemen, with some vaccines? So it’s unbelievable what’s happening!” said Luis-Vicențiu Lazarus (NI), an independent Member of the European Parliament.
