DISINFO: Europe is violating the right to health and safety
SUMMARY
The peoples of liberal countries felt a sense of alienation from their countries after the coronavirus pandemic, which exposed the liberal order and demonstrated the inability of governments to repel this virus due to a lack of hospital beds, medical materials, respirators, and other equipment and supplies. Surely Europe’s budget is a transparent budget visible to the people, and the European people are an astute people who can track events accurately. They know that at the end of 2015, Europe cut the health budgets of its health ministries on the pretext of the economic crisis, while this money was going to finance refugees. The reckless practices of the liberal states led to a defect that changed the image of liberalism in front of the European people, and led to the weakening of the liberal immunity in the conscience of peoples, due to Europe’s violation of the human right to health and safety, and even their looting of this right by force. Therefore, this is the international liberal regime’s death declaration.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the imminent collapse of liberalism. It is not true that health systems in Europe are suffering more than in other countries facing the same level of pressure. European countries have some of the best universal healthcare systems in the world. For example, according to the Global Health Security Index, among the top 15 countries in the index, which include criteria for preparedness for dealing with epidemic/pandemic outbreaks, 10 are European. Moreover, in order to provide all EU Member States with essential medical equipment, the EU has created a European stockpile of ventilators, masks and lab supplies. This medical and protective equipment is available to any EU country. The Commission will finance 90% of this stockpile through the EU Civil Protection Mechanism (RescEU). To support scientific research into the COVID-19, the European Commission has earmarked €47.5 million for shortlisted research projects that can improve epidemiology and public health, including preparedness and response to outbreaks. The EU has also created its first ever stockpile of medical equipment. This disinformation message appeared in the same article as the claim that the European countries have established ISIS/Daesh.
