Argentina Disability Protests Press Government Over Suspended Emergency Law

The funding standoff has left the law unenforced, intensifying a service crisis.

Overview

  • Hundreds rallied at Casa Rosada and in Rosario demanding the Executive execute the disability emergency law that Congress upheld and the presidency promulgated.
  • The Executive has kept the law on hold via Decree 681/25, saying Congress must define funding, so planned increases and payment regularizations have not taken effect.
  • Sector representatives said they will challenge Decree 681/25 in court, arguing that reallocating budget lines is a power of the chief of cabinet.
  • Presidential spokesman Manuel Adorni announced operational changes at ANDIS, including online address updates for pension notifications and new service offices in ParanĂ¡ and Buenos Aires.
  • Senate committees moved to summon Health Minister Mario Lugones and ANDIS director Alejandro Vilches to explain audits and the nonexecution, as providers and families report frozen fee schedules, service cutbacks and transport quitting the field.
