Milei tries to defy Congress amid disability emergency law row
[]
Buenos Aires Times
President Javier Milei’s government has promulgated the Disability Emergency Law he previously vetoed – while introducing another obstacle to its formal application.
The opposition-drafted law, which boosts funding for the disabled, was created in response to cutbacks introduced by the Milei government.
It also proposes a reform of the non-contributory pension system, strengthening the role of the ANDIS national disability agency and reinstating a mandatory employment quota for people with disabilities.
(Conditional) promulgationOn Monday, via Decree 681/2025, published in the Official Gazette, the Milei administration enacted Law 27,793 declaring a national disability emergency until December 31, 2026, extendable for one year.
The law also establishes a new pension for people aged over 70 or with a certified disability who lack sufficient resources or coverage.
