Deputies have chosen not to overturn Milei's rejection of the Disability Act.
The Emergency Disability Law, aimed at regularising payments to service providers, updating fees, reforming the non-contributory pensions system, strengthening the National Disability Agency (ANDIS), and ensuring the enforcement of the labor quota for people with disabilities, has taken a significant step forward in Argentina.
The process began when the bill was first presented in the Chamber of Deputies or Senators. If a bill is approved by both chambers, it then moves to the President for consideration. However, the President has the power to veto a law, which means blocking its approval and enactment.
Recently, the opposition deputies rejected the presidential veto to the Emergency Disability Law in the Chamber of Deputies. This rejection sets the stage for a potential insistence on the law's enactment by Congress, should they gather the required two-thirds of the votes in both chambers.
It's important to note that in Argentina, a presidential veto can be reversed only if Congress manages to gather two-thirds in the Senate. If both chambers have this two-thirds majority, the law is promulgated, even if the President disagrees.
However, if Congress does not obtain this two-thirds majority in both chambers to reverse the presidential veto, the project cannot be treated again in the sessions of that year. This means the Emergency Disability Law, if vetoed, would not be reconsidered until the following year.
In such a scenario, if the President does not pronounce himself within ten working days after being notified of the norm, the law is automatically enacted. This is a crucial aspect of the legislative process in Argentina, as it ensures that the will of the majority, as expressed through Congress, is not indefinitely blocked by the President.
The debate on the Emergency Disability Law has now moved to the Senate, where it will undergo further discussion and voting. The ultimate goal is to ensure that people with disabilities in Argentina receive the necessary support and opportunities to live with dignity and independence.
It's worth mentioning that Javier Milei was not the President of Argentina on August 20, 2022, and he did not veto the emergency aid law for disabled people in the Chamber of Deputies.
In conclusion, the Emergency Disability Law's journey through Argentina's Congress is a testament to the country's democratic process. The law, if enacted, will bring about significant changes in the lives of people with disabilities, providing them with much-needed support and opportunities. The next few weeks will be crucial as the Senate deliberates on the law and takes a vote.
