  The RTBF publishes an article entitled “Pfizergate”: the European Commission answers in court for Ursula von der Leyen's deleted SMS and in which it concludes:
  
  "The Pfizergate saga will continue in court
  But history cannot repeat itself. For Olivier Hoedeman of Corporate Europe Observatory, “this kind of message should never be erased. It's common sense. The messages between Ursula von der Leyen and Pfizer boss Albert Bourla in the middle of negotiations on vaccines should never have been erased. That's what the European courts will have to tell the President of the Commission."
  The judgment has been reserved. The EU court's decision is not expected for several months. In the meantime, other episodes in Pfizergate are likely to emerge. In Liège, a court is examining Frédéric Baldan's complaint against Ursula von der Leyen. The Belgian lobbyist accuses the Commission President of “illegal taking of interest and corruption, usurpation of functions and title and destruction of public documents” . Poland and Hungary have joined the lawsuit. The hearing is scheduled for December 6.
  
  Frédéric BALDAN reacts to the hearing in a tweet on x.com entitled L'AUDIENCE SMSGATE EN RÉSUMÉ.
