"The beginning of the end of the European Union?" the article released by Le Figaro begins.
The article says France may leave the EU due to the lack of support from the union during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The author of the article, Laurent Herble, said that now the ideal ground has been created for Frexit (an analog of Brexit, i.e., the UK's exit from the EU).
In his words, the situation in the European health sector is critical. 80% of medicines are produced outside the country. Many countries are already purchasing vaccines against COVID-19 in Russia and China, bypassing EU decisions.
The article reads that control over the situation is "the direct responsibility of the European Union." However, the organization, instead of genuine assistance, suggests countries abandon medicines and high costs.
For example, the author of the article cites the United States, where the third action plan to help the economy has already been adopted. In particular, in the United States, $5 trillion was allocated to solve the problems caused by the pandemic, while in the EU - only $ 300 billion.
Besides, Laurent Herble notes that the UK is best at dealing with the pandemic, which is presumably a credit to Brexit.
"The European Union was unable to protect us from either financial or economic or medical crises. The EU is just an additional and unadapted bureaucratic structure that paralyzes us, distracts attention and does nothing to protect us," the article says.
