Judge Orders Immediate Enforcement of Disability Emergency Law, Sets 5-Day Deadline

The order remains in force pending appeal, compelling immediate implementation.

Overview

  • The federal judge in Campana, Adrián González Charvay, invalidated Article 2 of Decree 681/2025 on December 12 and directed immediate application of Law 27.793.
  • The Executive appealed through Treasury Attorney Santiago Castro Videla, and the case is now before the Federal Chamber of San Martín with efecto devolutivo, so the lower-court order stays active.
  • The judge gave the national government five business days to comply and warned he could impose daily fines and pursue criminal referrals against officials, including Manuel Adorni, Sandra Pettovello, and Alejandro Vilches, for disobedience.
  • Lawmakers in the Chamber of Deputies removed a budget clause that would have blocked the law’s application, and the 2026 budget is scheduled for Senate debate on Friday.
  • Families and service providers argue that delays and underfunding jeopardize essential treatments, while the court emphasized Argentina’s obligations under the UN disability convention.
