Argentine Senate overrides Milei's veto against Emergency Disability Law
Argentina's Senate voted Thursday by 63 to 7 to override President Javier Milei’s veto of the Disability Emergency Law, making it the first time in 22 years that Congress has successfully overturned a presidential thumbs down.
The decision guarantees essential rights and services for persons with disabilities until December 2027.
One by one: who are the senators who flipped Milei's veto on disability law?
With 63 affirmative votes and seven negative votes, the upper house reversed the presidential decision and reinstated the regulations declaring the critical situation in the sector until 31 December 2026.
The opposition gathered an overwhelming majority that curbed the veto that sought to prevent the budget increase for the disability area, one of the sectors most affected by the fiscal adjustment. "It is a new blow to the government, which is going through one of the most fragile moments of its management," an expert told Sputnik.
By re-publishing a libertarian tweet, the President displayed his disgust with the vote produced this Thursday in the Upper House.
