Salud says that Doria “lies”

Dispute between Doria x Bolsonaro

In a new chapter, the toucan previously stated that the decision to disable beds in São Paulo is “political.”
“The Ministry of Health breaks the federative pact by imposing a disqualification of beds in São Paulo and clearly establishes a political bias to face a health crisis like this one. We have information that in other states the political bias is being applied to other governments. It’s very serious. This is to advance within an ideological policy on the health issue, rather than what is wrong in the ministry, ”he explained.
