Alberto Fernández never imagined that his official visit to Mexico would have as a backdrop the scandal over the VIP vaccination against the coronavirus set up in the Ministry of Health.

For this reason, at the press conference toast with his Mexican counterpart, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, he could not avoid talking about the fact and, although he admitted that it was something "reprehensible", he described the complaints as a "clown." 

"I would like Argentina to function differently. Clearly, when I took note of what had happened, I reacted and lost a minister. I have read that they have made a complaint. The fact is serious enough for a minister of the stature of Ginés should have left his post, but let's end the clowning. I ask the prosecutors and judges to do what they should, "he said.

And he added: "There is no criminal offense in Argentina that says 'he who vaccinates another who was ahead of the line will be punished.' There is no such crime and crimes can be built gracefully. We have already experienced it."

There, the President took the opportunity to point against Justice, stating that, "if they want to work, they have many crimes to investigate."

"They can investigate Macri's toll business; they can investigate the terrible and unfortunate indebtedness that was nothing more than a business for the friends of power; they can investigate the emptying of Congress, the wind farm business, the responsibility of a Minister who sent a submarine to kill the 44 crew members. Look at everything they have to investigate and do not investigate, "he said in reference to events that occurred during the government of Mauricio Macri.
