Overview

• Senators voted 63–7 to reject President Javier Milei’s veto of the Disability Emergency law, marking the first congressional override of a presidential veto in more than two decades.
• The reinstated law seeks to guarantee continuity of services, benefits and funding for people with disabilities, a focal point after months of audits and payment disputes.
• Casa Rosada officials indicate they will not promulgate or immediately apply benefit increases and are weighing ways to delay execution, including a Supreme Court bid to nullify the session and fiscal‑impact challenges.
• In a separate vote, the Senate gave media sanción to a bill tightening the use of DNUs by requiring explicit approval from both chambers within 90 days, limiting each decree to a single subject, and allowing one‑chamber rejection to deactivate it.
• Opposition blocs celebrated the votes as an institutional check as senators spotlighted an ANDIS bribery probe and some pushed to suspend audits and restore withdrawn disability pensions.
