Deputies successively cast their votes on the Emergency Measure Related to Disability, a measure that was subsequently approved and forwarded to the Senate for further consideration.
In a significant vote, the Chamber of Deputies in Argentina has rejected President Javier Milei's veto on the Disability Emergency Law. The final tally was Affirmative: 172, Negative: 73, Abstention: 2, Absent: 10.
The Disability Emergency Law, which is now valid for two years, until December 31, 2027, aims to strengthen the role of the National Agency for Disability (ANDIS). It also proposes a reform in the non-contributory pension system, establishes the obligation to comply with the labor quota for people with disabilities, and seeks to regularize payments and update rates for service providers.
Among the deputies who voted in favour of rejecting the veto was Sergio Edgardo Acevedo. The opposition is currently debating an increase in pensions in the Chamber of Deputies.
It's important to note that Javier Milei was part of the government when he vetoed the Disability Emergency Law in the Chamber of Deputies, as he was the President of Argentina at that time. However, the Chamber of Depututies, including the opposition, rejected his veto.
Interestingly, a federal judge has declared Milei's veto on the Disability Emergency Law as unconstitutional. This development adds a new dimension to the ongoing debate about the law's implementation.
The Disability Emergency Law is a significant step towards ensuring better support for people with disabilities in Argentina. It marks a collective commitment to upholding the rights of this vulnerable section of society and fostering a more inclusive nation.
