Judicial documents from Case No. 1884/2020 reveal a criminal complaint against former Health Minister Ginés González García for the alleged spread of a dangerous disease. The complaint seeks to clarify the origin of the coronavirus COVID-19, its geopolitical implications, and whether it constitutes genocide or a crime against humanity. The investigation questions the Argentine State's delay in taking preventive measures.
In February 2020, the Taiwanese ambassador in Buenos Aires met with an epidemiologist from the Ministry of Health to share preventive actions against the virus and the alerts sent to the WHO. However, the Taiwanese embassy did not receive a response from Argentina. Taiwan implemented effective measures to mitigate COVID-19, while Argentina took late actions, according to the complaint.
In another approach, a lawyer in the United States filed a lawsuit demanding reparations from China for unleashing the coronavirus as a biological weapon, questioning the management of the Asian country during the pandemic. Meanwhile, Argentina received medical supply aid from China, and President Milei announced the country's exit from the WHO to protect its sovereignty.
These actions reflect the geopolitical and legal complexity surrounding the management of the COVID-19 pandemic and the possible responsibilities of the involved actors. Argentine authorities face criticism for their delayed response, while international legal disputes arise over the origin and management of the disease.
In this context, the criminal investigation is expected to shed light on the decisions made by Argentine authorities and China's role in the spread of the virus, in a scenario marked by the debate over responsibility and the consequences of the pandemic.
