Ursula von der Leyen just lost the “Pfizergate” legal case—and it’s a huge deal. EU judges ruled that she must reveal her secret vaccine deal text messages with Pfizer. Was there a cover-up? Political fallout? Or is this just about transparency? We break down what happened, what’s at stake, and what could happen next.

    How many “gates” does it need to finally get rid of her? Oh well, maybe this is the one, let’s cross fingers.

    Please don’t send her back to Germany. Belgian jail, supervisory board of some shady corporation, dark side of the moon, I couldn’t care less. But please don’t let her exile end prematurely. This country is suffering enough.

      When Pistorius becomes vice chancellor in 2029, there will be a vacancy in the German defense ministry, don’t you think? Return of Shotgun-Ursula! /s

        Seriously the only thing I remember she did as defense minister is the McKinsey scandal and the fact that she wanted to implement nice apartments in the barracks.

        And I served in the German Navy at the time

    Nothing will happen.

    She pulled the same bullshit already as a defense minister in Germany and didn’t faced any serious consequences.
    Instead she got promoted to her current position

      She was just convicted. Read up on the PPE high priority lane. How many convictions there?
