After the former Minister of Health Gines Gonzalez Garcia was honored in Pink House For his “work carried out in the pandemic and his contribution to Public Health”, several opposition figures came out to repudiate the distinction. “Did they pay tribute to the guy who set up a VIP Vaccination Center for militants and friends while retirees and doctors were dying?” The deputy of Together for Change got angry Maria Eugenia Vidal.

Also the deputy Fernando Iglesias was one of the voices that questioned the distinction of the former official. “When they finish honoring Ginés @ginesggarcia Can you please tell me how many of the 130,000 dead had full vaccination at the time of death? I submitted a request for reports months ago and still no response. Thanks partners @alferdez @cfkargentina !”, shot Iglesias.

For his part, Ricardo Lopez Murphy joined the questions. “Ginés González García deserves the uninterrupted repudiation of all of us who lost loved ones while he organized and directed the theft of vaccines and the vaccination of friends of power. Tribute? Never ”, repudiated the United Republicans deputy.

Graciela Ocana, national deputy for Together for Change, contributed her own to the questions. “Argentina upside down, where criminals who stole vaccines and set up the #Vip Vaccination: Former Minister of Health Ginés González Garcia. The person responsible for more than 130,000 deaths of Argentines, for not having bought vaccines like Pfizer, among others, ”he wrote.

But there were also criticisms from former officials. The former president of Garrahan Hospital and Secretary of Health during the Government of Mauricio Macri, Carlos Kambourian, questioned the award to González García: “Today they give an award to Gines González Garcia. There are 130 thousand guests. Every applause you hear will be an insult to your family member or friend who died without a vaccine.”

The distinction to Ginés González García marked the return to the Casa Rosada after being fired due to the scandal of the “Vip Vaccination” that shook the government in early 2021.
