President Alberto Fernández and former Minister of Health Ginés González García announced that they will denounce Patricia Bullrich for accusing the Government of requesting
bribes
to close the negotiation with Pfizer.
Earlier, the pharmaceutical company Pfizer denied the president of the PRO, who, in turn,
reaffirmed her statements.
"
This outrage, madness, I don't know what to call it,
of the president of the PRO, Mrs. Bullrich, of saying such a thing ... That I practically asked for a bribe, that the President was aware of. A series of inconsistencies, which is outrageous that the president of a party say that, "González García told
Radio 10.
He added: "
I am going to make a criminal complaint, a civil complaint and everything that is necessary
. I cannot let it pass an outrage like
that
. One of these things happened to me in my life, even saying it without any proof and with impunity, favoring hatred , hopelessness and messing with people's honor. "
On Sunday night, in statements to LN +, the head of the PRO had said: “Gines González García said that to sign a contract with Pfizer there had to be an intermediary, which is the same as AstraZeneca, Hugo Sigman.
And Pfizer told him that they couldn't, that they had to be effective in the time and way of producing the vaccine.
González García's attitude was to try to have a return.
The president was not unaware of that ”.
This Monday, through a short statement, Pfizer indicated that it did not receive requests for bribes from the Government
"at any time" during
the negotiation.
Ginés González García
had had an abrupt exit from the government last February amid the
"vip vaccines"
scandal
.
The event that led to his departure from the Health Ministry exploded on February 19, after journalist Horacio Verbitsky revealed in an interview that he had been vaccinated thanks to the efforts made by the now former Minister of Health.
"Everything that was done in the
Posadas Hospital
was done within the resolutions of those who were responsible for different reasons. Justice has to verify it," said González García.
Bullrich "reaffirms" his sayings
After Pfizer's denial and Ginés González García's announcement of the complaint against the head of the PRO, Patricia Bullrich expressed herself on her social networks and
reaffirmed all her accusations.
Argentines should already be vaccinated: 4,500 compatriots participated in Pfizer tests in 2020, which assured us to buy 14 million anticipated doses of the vaccine.
Pfizer went to the Ministry of Health and submitted its contract last year.

, did not want vaccines buy Pfizer Why Because delegated trading on a former employee of Sigman: Sofia Tarragona.?.
Using an intermediary is the matrix of corruption K
: put a friend who does the dirty work. That is the fact of corruption, "Bullrich tweeted.
He added: "
Not signing the contract is the fact of corruption.
From there, they mounted the lie that Pfizer was asking for leonine conditions, while selling to all our neighbors in acceptable conditions."
For Bullrich, "the Pfizer statement
does not deny anything
" of what she said:
"Therefore," he maintained, "I reaffirm my sayings."
Pfizer in the statement reads: "Pfizer has not received requests for improper payments at any time On the
other hand,.
The company does not have intermediaries
, private distributors or representatives for the provision of covid-19 vaccine."
