Daniel Gollán

He was appointed minister of health in Argentina, on February 26, 2015. Replacing Juan Luis Manzur.[1] Kirchnerism could not achieve a victory for Daniel Scioli in the 2015 presidential election that allowed him to prevent a ballotage, and runs for a runoff election against Mauricio Macri. Kirchnerism reacted with a negative campaigning against Macri. Gollán said, in his Twitter account, "The 12 new radiation therapy centers to treat cancer will continue if Scioli is president. Think well before you vote". The opposition asked for his resignation, and Gollán deleted the post and claimed that his account had been hacked. Still, his previous posts have a similar tone.[2]
