Njemački ministar financija Olaf Scholz, napao je strategiju cjepiva Covid Europske komisije kao "stvarno sr*nje", izvijestio je Bild, dok koalicijski partneri lijevog centra Angele Merkel žele iskoristiti bijes zbog tog pitanja prije saveznih izbora.
Scholz, koji je ujedno i vicekancelar, navodno je kritizirao predsjednicu Komisije Ursulu von der Leyen tijekom sastanka vlade u ponedjeljak, rekavši da Berlin ne može “dopustiti da se ovo sr*nje ponovi” i da je debakl s cjepivom "sramota", prenosi The Guardian.
