The Argentine President, Javier Mileihas made a decision that has generated great controversy and debate both nationally and internationally: withdraw Argentina from the World Health Organization (WHO).
This measure of Javier Mileiannounced by the presidential spokesman Manuel Adorni at a press conference at Casa Rosada, follows the steps of former US president Donald Trump, who also retired his WHO country in 2020.
Milei’s decision is based on a series of criticism towards WHO management during the Covid-19 Pandemia. According to Adorni, WHO promoted measures that consider excessive and harmful to the economy and freedom of citizens, such as prolonged confinement.
In addition, Milei has argued that WHO has intervened in Argentina’s sovereignty, imposing policies that do not reflect the country’s needs and priorities. The withdrawal of the WHO by Milei is similar to the measure taken by Donald Trump in 2020.
Trump also strongly criticized WHO, accusing her of being too dependent on China and having failed in her response to the pandemic. Trump’s decision was seen as a more nationalist foreign policy and less dependent on international organizations.
The WHO’s withdrawal has generated a mixture of reactions. On the one hand, some sectors support the decision, seeing in it an affirmation of national sovereignty and a fair reaction to criticism towards WHO.
