Overview

• Deputies approved the override move with 172 votes, and the Senate is expected to take up the confirmation within the 15-day window with the two-thirds needed.
• If confirmed, it would mark the first rejection of a total presidential veto since March 2003 during Eduardo Duhalde’s administration.
• A judicial ruling declared President Javier Milei’s veto of the disability emergency law null, adding legal pressure to the legislative push.
• The government defends the veto on fiscal grounds, while the National Budget Office estimates the law’s impact at roughly 0.25%–0.45% of GDP, with possible additional costs.
• A separate bill declaring a pediatric emergency at Hospital Garrahan cleared both chambers by more than two-thirds and could also be confirmed if vetoed.
