President Javier Milei once again found himself at the center of the political scene after a Wednesday filled with key decisions. While the opposition was moving forward in the Chamber of Deputies with the overriding of his veto on the Disability Emergency Law, the Casa Rosada announced a responsible and sustainable alternative: a significant increase in benefits for people with disabilities, financed through genuine savings and the elimination of privileges.
Presidential spokesperson Manuel Adorni communicated the decision just half an hour before the parliamentary session. "The national government is considering an increase in all benefits aimed at people with disabilities. The decision is to prioritize care, strengthen medical, therapeutic, and support services," he stated, highlighting that the measure could be financed thanks to audits of improperly granted pensions that eliminated "schemes that had been in place for many years."
Despite this announcement, the Chamber of Deputies approved, with 172 votes in favor, 73 against, and 2 abstentions, the annulment of Milei's veto on the Disability Emergency Law, promoted by Kirchnerism and its allies. The initiative must now be considered in the Senate, where, if the same vote is repeated, the regulation would come into effect.
