Argentina’s Senate Reins In Decree Powers, Overrides Milei’s Veto on Disability Emergency Law

The DNU-curbing bill now moves to Deputies, signaling a push to tighten checks on emergency rule.

Overview

  • Senators rejected the presidential veto and left the Disability emergency law firm by a 63–7 vote with two absences, which obliges presidential promulgation under the Constitution.
  • The chamber also approved a measure to restrict the use of Decrees of Necessity and Urgency, which still requires passage in the Chamber of Deputies and could face a veto challenge.
  • Both houses previously rejected five delegated decrees aimed at intervening in public agencies, after which the Executive reinstated prior rules through DNU 627 and 628.
  • Leaked audios alleging requests for bribes tied to the National Disability Agency prompted calls for formal investigation and congressional scrutiny.
  • Voters in Buenos Aires province are electing 46 deputies and 23 senators today in a contest viewed as carrying political implications beyond the province.
