Congress Override Sets Up Legal Fight Over Milei’s Duty to Enact Disability Emergency Law

Failure to publish the insisted statute in the Boletín Oficial after the veto reversal has prompted a criminal complaint against top officials.

Overview

  • Deputies Esteban Paulón and Mónica Fein filed a complaint in Comodoro Py accusing President Javier Milei, Chief of Cabinet Guillermo Francos, and other officials of abuse of authority and failure to perform public duties for delaying promulgation and regulation of Law 27.739.
  • The opposition secured control of the Chamber of Deputies agenda through the October 26 elections, advancing limits on DNUs and intensifying oversight with ANDIS inquiries and interpellation requests for Karina Milei, Francos, and Health Minister Mario Lugones.
  • Under the insisted law, the Executive must publish the statute and move budget transfers so ANDIS can update benefit rates, steps that opponents say remain pending despite internal work on regulation.
  • In Bahía Blanca, prosecutors detailed a Villa Cerrito operation that ended with the arrest of Santiago Matías Laiño, the seizure of a 9mm firearm, cash and drugs, and charges for resisting authority, war‑grade weapon possession and drug dealing intent, noting his earlier extraordinary release despite a prior conviction.
  • Separately, a Bahía Blanca court kept Brisa Aylén Mora in custody pending a more favorable reintegration assessment despite eligibility timeframes, while U.S. President Donald Trump reported a lethal strike that sank a suspected narcotrafficking vessel in the Caribbean and Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum said the FGR must substantiate witness claims in the Hernán Bermúdez case.
