Bouteflika Was Hospitalized Under A Pseudonym In Geneva

President of the Republic, Abdelaziz Bouteflika, was receiving treatment at the University Hospital of Geneva (HUG) between February,24 and March,10 under a false name and birthday, the Swiss newspaper La Tribune de Genève said.

The Swiss newspaper explained in an article that Bouteflika used a pseudonym during his stay in the University Hospitals of Geneva for treatment between February,24 and March,10, asserting that it was able to verify the document of Bouteflika’s health follow-up, stating that the Algerian President was named “Abdelmajid Aissa, born on July 5, 1938, less than two years after the real age of President Bouteflika (who completed 82 years on March 2, 2019) and 5 July is not coincidental, but represents the country’s independence from French colonization in 1962.

According to the Swiss newspaper, the president’s medical follow-up document that was issued by the Geneva hospital indicated that he suffered pneumonia due a pulmonary respiratory infection, which required an oxygen mask to improve the patient’s breathing.

HUG document referred to a two-hour respiratory sitting for the president at the request of the medical team that was accompanying the president, which included four doctors including a cardiologist, an anesthesiologist and another doctor of internal medicine, explaining that they were acting as interpreters for the president who suffered Aphasia.

In view of these new details about the president’s name during his treatment in Switzerland, these data explain the inability of the phone call staff at the Geneva hospital to answer the questions of thousands of Algerian calls during Bouteflika’s presence at the same hospital, and they just said; “Bouteflika is not on the list of patients in the hospital.”

In another case, the Court of Geneva accepted the file of the complaint that was filled by the Algerian woman who resides in Switzerland who said that “his close guards are involved in identity usurpation of President Bouteflika, to benefit from his health situation in order to manipulate him and represent him at the presidential elections without his consent”, said her lawyer in Geneva, Saskia Dtisheim, chairperson of the Swiss Lawyers Without Borders organization in her request.

La Tribune de Genève point out that the Court for the protection of adults and children indicated in a correspondent on March 19 that after the departure of the concerned (in reference to President Bouteflika, who left Switzerland on March 10), the notification is no longer interesting, adding that the request can be taken into account only if one of the family members filed a complaint, according to Article 35 of the Civil Code.
