ER Editor: We are convinced this is theatre to wake up the normies. Regardless, this is what is being reported as the latest installment of EU Tyranny and Screw-ups in the Ursula von der Leyen Department.

SMSgate – the CJEU has no power to seize SMS messages or compel the Commission to produce SMS messages between von der Leyen and Bourla
FRANCE SOIR
Yesterday, the Court of Justice of the European Union heard the case of the SMS messages (#SMSGATE). These were text messages exchanged between Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Pfizer Chairman Albert Bourla concerning the negotiation of the lavish covid vaccine contracts.”
I’ve never seen contracts so favorable to industry,” explained Olivier Frot, a doctor of law. Frédéric Baldan and his lawyer Diane Protat made the trip to listen to this important hearing. They came away even more convinced that the criminal justice system is the only way to shed light on what really happened.
In March 2023, Frédéric Baldan filed a complaint against Ursula von der Leyen, Albert Bourla and Pfizer on charges of usurpation of titles, destruction of documents and corruption. The complaint was joined by Poland and Hungary, as reported by France-Soir on March 17, 2023, and by nearly 1,000 other plaintiffs. The next hearing in these proceedings will take place on December 6, 2024 at the Liège Court. With a few additional questions.
Why is there such an omerta on the part of the French mainstream media regarding the criminal complaint against von der Leyen, and what murky games is the European Public Prosecutor’s Office playing in this affair?

Frédéric Baldan’s summary of the SMSGATE HEARING
Frédéric Baldan summarized the #smsgate hearing of November 15, 2024 in a tweet. It is reproduced below with his permission.
The CJEU has no power to seize the “SMS” or compel the von der Leyen Commission to produce its secret messages exchanged with @AlbertBourla. It is @vonderleyen who seems to hold them alone and/or to have destroyed them.
The only court capable of doing this is the Belgian criminal court, the court where the events took place. The Commission, which refuses to appear before the courts, is trying to avoid affirming or denying that the messages exist. It refuses to specify the medium (which phone, computer?), it refuses to specify the format (Whatsapp, signal, text message, …), it claims to have searched for them, but without being able to specify where or how...
In short, the Commission is acting arbitrarily and dishonestly. Since the Secretariat General of the @EU_Commission and the UVDL cabinet (headed by Björn Seibert) claim that they do not hold these messages, this means that only the President holds them, and that they have not been effectively researched. Madame von der Leyen is the only one who has access to them, and she has arranged for her communications to be exempt from registration by the Commission, and therefore from transparency.
To protect its President, the von der Leyen Commission has invented a false legal concept of “short leave message”, which would exempt it from the obligation to archive messages.
The only way to interpret this is that Mrs von der Leyen used an application she had configured to delete her own messages after a short period of time. Since she claimed to be acting within the scope of her duties, this means that she organized the destruction of administrative documents. Our criminal complaint.
The Commission also came up with a new storytelling, arguing that Ms von der Leyen’s phone might have been replaced in 2022 without transferring the messages. For my part, I met a media professional who told me that Ursula von der Leyen had told her that her granddaughter had played with her phone and accidentally deleted her messages.
In short, Ursula von der Leyen and her subordinates have decided to lie and run away from both transparency and justice. Even if the CJEU overturns the Commission’s refusal to hand over these messages, the NYT (ER: New York Times) clearly won’t get them, and the Commission will produce a new refusal decision that will still end up before the CJEU. A never-ending loop.
THE CONCLUSION: Ursula von der Leyen has violated the code of conduct for European Commissioners, and in particular the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights (including the right to transparency). The only useful decision the CJEU can take is to suspend Ursula von der Leyen, who has failed in her mission by violating the Treaties and who no longer has any appearance of honesty.
We had called for her suspension in 2023, but the EU’s administrative jurisdiction had protected Ursula von der Leyen. Yesterday, all they did was repeat the consequences of their 2023 decision, which was contrary to the law. So we’ll see if, this time, the judges finally rule the law instead of protecting Ursula von der Leyen.
For the record, the NYT is not calling for Ursula von der Leyen’s suspension and has not joined us in the criminal proceedings, which they could have done using Art 151 of the Belgian Penal Code (arbitrary infringement of rights guaranteed by the constitution).
