Disproportionate fines are in place in EU country Cyprus that only the rich can afford during the pandemic. This disallows freedom of choice to less affluent EU citizens, whilst the more affluent can exercise their freedom of choice.  Most citizens cannot afford to pay the disproportionate fine and are indirectly coerced into doing something they do not freely choose to do. Fines based on an income percentage should be introduced EU-wide so everyone is treated equally and can choose freely without their lack of wealth being used as a weapon of coercion.

In EU country Cyprus, children were blackmailed with loss of education and then parents were given a consent form for an invasive rapid test with possible complications. Blackmail is not consent. The EU must ensure that children’s education and disproportionate fines are not allowed in all EU-countries to force consent.

An EU-wide policy of income based percentage fine needs to be introduced so that there is equality between the financial classes and access to freedom of choice for all EU citizens with true—not coerced consent.

Additionally the EU must create a policy that disallows and has consequences for EU countries that use children’s education as blackmail to force consent. Most especially regarding invasive medical diagnostics, medical treatments or anything else. Blackmail and coercion is not consent.
