Who really decides in the European Union: the Commission, the Parliament or the European Council? What actions have Ursula von der Leyen and her Commission taken since her election? How do lobbies work in Brussels?
To answer these and many other questions about the workings of the European Commission and its dangerous relations with lobbyists, Frédéric Baldan retraces the emblematic case of Ursula Von Der Legen, the President, and in particular her actions during the Covid crisis. This Belgian lobbyist, who has been working in Brussels for 10 years, is in fact the author of the first criminal complaint in history against a sitting European Commissioner, accusing Ursula von der Leyen of  corruption, illegal taking of interest, interference in functions and titles, and destruction of administrative documents, in the affair of the secret eMessages exchanged directly with Albert Bourla, the Pfizer CEO who obtained tens of billions of euros from the Commission.

Frédéric Baldan is a Belgian lobbyist specializing in economic and political intelligence. Accredited for 10 years with the European Commission, he was struck off after denouncing breaches of EU rights and violations of fundamental rights in the SMSGate affair.
