Pascal Lamy was received on the program “Your political guest” on franceinfo on the eve of the opening of the Paris Peace Forum.

While the global immunization rate is far from a success, Pascal Lamy, president of the Global Peace Forum, who stands at November 11 to 13, 2021 in Paris, estimated Wednesday 10 November that the world was now “in a vaccine apartheid”. “France and Europe have done more than the others with the Covax initiative, but not enough, and by far. We must share the doses that are produced and that some rich countries are storing”, continued the former director of the World Trade Organization, guest of the program “Your political guest” on franceinfo.

“Today there are roughly a billion doses that could be made available to the poorest countries.”
