The opposition, led by Kirchnerism, approved the preliminary rejection of President Javier Milei's veto of the deficit-ridden Disability Emergency Law, which seeks to destroy the fiscal surplus, bankrupt the State, and generate a new economic crisis.
With 172 votes in favor, 73 against, and 2 abstentions, Milei's veto of the Kirchnerist law was rejected by the Chamber of Deputies, and now the Senate must decide. If the veto is rejected again, the dangerous law will go into effect.
Milei's veto
The Argentine president had previously vetoed this bill because, far from wanting to help people, this law would have meant the destruction of the fiscal surplus, the bankruptcy of the State, and a new economic crisis for the country, sending millions of Argentines into poverty.
The regulation seeks the creation of a Universal Disability Pension that, according to official estimates, would add more than 1.6 million new beneficiaries, generating a fiscal impact of over 6 trillion pesos (13.2 billion pounds) annually, that is, more than 5 billion dollars.
