Deputies Overturn Milei’s Disability Veto, Sustain Pension Veto, Approve ATN Transfers

The result highlights a fiscal standoff between Milei and an emboldened opposition.

Overview

  • Lawmakers voted 172–73 (with 2 abstentions) to insist on the Emergency in Disability law, sending the veto override to the Senate for a final decision.
  • The Chamber failed to muster two thirds to overturn the veto on a 7.2% pension boost and higher minimum bonus, tallying 160–83 with 6 abstentions.
  • Deputies converted into law the automatic distribution of Aportes del Tesoro Nacional to provinces, passing the measure 143–90 with 12 abstentions and curbing executive discretion over those funds.
  • The Presidency removed ANDIS director Diego Spagnuolo after leaked audios alleging kickbacks; spokesman Manuel Adorni said the government considers raising disability prestaciones and officials signaled plans to challenge the disability law in court.
  • Coalition strains deepened as three La Libertad Avanza deputies announced a new bloc, Coherencia, after dissidents helped provide the 136-member quorum that opened the marathon session, with related fights now expected in the Senate.
