The bills, vetoed by Milei earlier this month, address two sectors that have been hit hard by the government’s “chainsaw” spending cuts. The second declares a paediatric health emergency, allocating funds primarily to the prestigious Garrahan Children’s Hospital in Buenos Aires. Health and education are among the sectors most severely hit by the La Libertad Avanza leader’s sweeping austerity drive. Milei earlier this week submitted a draft 2026 budget that includes higher allocations for health and education. Milei-critical Senator Martín Lousteau (Unión Cívica Radical) stated that today proved that "education and public health are stronger than any veto."
