Overview

• On August 18, 2025, the Federal Court in Campana declared Article 3 of Decree 534/2025 unconstitutional in an amparo filed by parents of two minors with disabilities.
• The ruling found that Argentina’s constitution (Art. 75.23) and international treaties, including a recent Inter-American Court opinion, bar budgetary objections from reducing protections for vulnerable groups.
• The court directed the obra social covering B.N. and Y.N. to restore services as stipulated by Law 27.793 and assigned all litigation costs to the State.
• Although confined to this family’s case, the decision is viewed as a persuasive precedent that may encourage similar legal challenges to the presidential veto.
• The executive branch retains the right to appeal, setting the stage for further judicial review and ongoing debate over the law’s wider application and fiscal impact.
