Charles Michel at centre of war of words with UK over COVID vaccines
Row follows Council President’s swipe at the UK over its vaccine roll out.
European Council Newsroom
12 Mar 2021
President of the European Council, Charles Michel has found himself at the centre of a furious war of words with the UK over the respective vaccine strategies of the two sides.
It comes after he tried to defend the EU’s much-criticised vaccine strategy earlier this week and, in doing so, also took a swipe at the UK over its approach to the vaccine roll out.
Michel, a former Prime Minister of Belgium, which currently has one of the worst roll out rates in Europe, seemed to directly attack the UK for what he described as an “outright ban on the export of vaccines” comparing it to the EU which, he said, had “never stopped exporting.”
Weeks of clashes between security forces and pro-democracy activists angry at the ousting of an elected government have plunged the country into chaos.
