Macron slammed by French residents for slow EU vaccine rollout<\/h3>\n

The European Commission president claimed there was a “confrontational mindset” amid the ongoing row over supplies. In a swipe at Britain’s rapid rollout of coronavirus vaccines, she said: “Some countries see the quest for a vaccine as a race among global powers, like the space race in the 1960s. This is an illusion. The only race is against the virus, which is spreading faster than ever before.”<\/p>\n

In a digital speech at Warwick University, she added: “This is not a competition between Europeans, Russians, Chinese and Americans – this is too serious.”<\/p>\n

But the Brussels chief was accused of weakening the bloc while hurling tough rhetoric at the EU’s international partners.<\/p>\n

Romanian MEP Cristian Terhes said: “Ursula von der Leyen proves again that she wants to seem strong by using tough rhetoric, but her ill-judged actions and leadership are weakening the Commission and EU globally.<\/p>\n

“The EU is hardly a global power like the USA, but a political union with a sharply decreasing portion of the world’s population and economic output.<\/p>\n

“A region which is declining demographically as well as democratically in great part because of EU policies.<\/p>\n

“After her vaccine rollout fiasco, von der Leyen should be more modest in her rhetoric and prove herself through wise actions and not bellicose language.”<\/p>\n

Mrs von der Leyen is under increased pressure to resign over the EU’s slow roll-out of coronavirus vaccines.<\/p>\n

Analysts at German finance giant Allianz warned in a recent report that Europe was facing a “five-week delay on the vaccination front that, if left uncorrected, could cost close to €90 billion”.<\/p>\n

And the European Central Bank has warned the EU’s economic recovery has been “delayed” because of the sluggish scheme.<\/p>\n

In an interview with French newspaper Le Journal du Dimanche, ECB chief Christine Lagarde said: “We remain convinced that 2021 will be a recovery year.<\/p>\n

“The economic recovery has been delayed, but not derailed. People are obviously waiting impatiently for it.”<\/p>\n

The EU’s vaccine scheme has got off to a slow start, with only 3.6 percent of the bloc’s 450-million population receiving a dose.<\/p>\n

In contrast, the UK has delivered jabs at a rate of more than 17 per 100 people, and the United States is also racing ahead on almost 12.<\/p>\n

The ECB fears the sluggish vaccine scheme and risk of mutant strains are forcing governments to maintain their economic shutdowns.<\/p>\n

“That is what really matters for the recovery,” one insider told the FT.<\/p>\n

Ms Lagarde also alluded to these concerns, adding: “We are not immune to unknown risks surfacing.”<\/p>\n

The central banker called on Brussels to “speed up” the process of green-lighting national spending plans for the EU’s €750 billion coronavirus recovery fund.<\/p>\n

Cash from the unprecedented bailout package is not expected to dished out to the worst-hit economies and industries until later this year while eurocrats pour over individual spending strategies from EU capitals.<\/p>\n

Ms Lagarde said: “You fight fire with fire.<\/p>\n

“It’s better to act quickly, even if you might have to backtrack to correct things that may have gone wrong.”<\/p>\n
