Overview
- Pensioners, disability organizations, Hospital Garrahan workers and the UTEP rallied at the National Congress on December 3, aligning their weekly march with the International Day for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
- Participants demanded activation of the Law of Emergency in Disability, reinstatement of dismissed staff at the National Disability Agency (ANDIS) and restoration of medication coverage and other protections for older adults.
- Hospital Garrahan unions held an 11:00 press conference at the hospital entrance to announce new measures and coordinated federal actions planned for December 10.
- Organizers said the government has promulgated pediatric and disability emergency laws but postponed their application until Congress defines financing and adds the necessary budget lines.
- Authorities deployed a three-tier security operation around Congress—Federal Police in inner rings and City Police as an external cordon—during a preparatory session of the Chamber of Deputies, as parallel actions spread to provinces such as Catamarca.
