From Mad in Argentina: “The fines are paid within the framework of the judicial process; both the City Ministry of Health and the National Ministry of Health would have to pay them. Both ministries are co-defendants in the legal case and both are obligated to create mechanisms; both should move forward in that direction. The Ministry of Health of the City of Buenos Aires, of course, only within the city, and the Ministry of Health has jurisdiction over the entire country. As for who will decide what to do with that money, what the judge says in the ruling is that the money from that fine must be used to implement the collective aspect of the sentence, that is, the collective aspect, which is aimed at people in a state of emergency and requiring community mental health services.”
