Ben-Harris Quinney, chairman of the Bow Group think tank, has launched a brutal attack against the EU’s management of the pandemic and vaccine rollout, but warned Brussels could still use the crisis to increase and centralise power, resulting in less national sovereignty for some nations.
Mr Harris-Quinney told Express.co.uk: “The EU’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic and the vaccine rollout has been among its most public failures, but historically the EU never wastes a crisis.
“It is these crises they tend to use to further increase and centralise power in Brussels.
“You can already see how Macron is lining himself up to take command of the EU, and I predict the solution presented will ultimately mean even less national sovereignty and even more EU powers.”
