They were the only legislators who traveled this Sunday night 21 in the delegation that Alberto Fernández takes to Mexico.
But as confirmed by the Government House to
Clarín
, the president himself gave the order to get them off the plane: they are
his friend Eduardo Valdés,
president of the Foreign Relations Commission of Deputies, and
Jorge Taiana, former chancellor
and current president of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Both are involved in the "
vaccinate",
which ended in the dismissal of now former Health Minister Gines González García.
Like the journalist Horacio Verbitsky, the two legislators had privileges in the application of the Sputnik V vaccine, although they officially argued that they did
so as a preventive measure due to the trip to Mexico with the president.
But
Alberto Fernández did not interpret it the same.
As the ambassador to Mexico, Carlos Tomada, told Télam this Friday,
President Andrés Manuel López Obrador confirmed that on Monday he will accompany Fernández to his visit to the Liomont laboratory
, which is in charge of the final processing of the AstraZeneca vaccine, whose active principle is produces in Argentina.
It is a cooperation project between friendly countries to produce the drug against the coronavirus
A source in the Government said that Alberto F. sought to clear from his entourage any association to the VIP vaccination center that is the subject of a great scandal this Friday.
The regional collaboration with Mexico is a central part of the invitation that López Obrador made to his colleague to accompany him on Wednesday the 24th in the celebrations for the 200 years of Mexican independence from Spain.
Taiana and Valdés will not be there.
