With a very tight result, Javier Milei managed to shield the veto to retirement for the second time although with less allies and more difficulties to reach the third.
The vote ended up coming out 160 for insisting with the law and 83 for shielding the presidential veto.
For only 2 votes it is not possible to reject the veto to retirement.
The governors were key to turn the result in favor of Milei.
And there were two absences of UP Keys: López Dante de Catamarca and Bertoldi de Neuquén.

In the emergency for disability, support the veto brought together only 73 wills, and He added 10 more This time. Two of the UCR (Atilio Benedetti between rivers and loneliness Carrizo de Córdoba), three of the PRO (Besana, Figueroa Casas y Bachey), two former pro (Chumpitaz and Razzini), Ricardo Lopez Murphy, Jose Luis Garrido de Santa Cruz that responds to Vidal, and Arancibia de la Libertad advances that he had been absent. They were the ones who joined those who had already voted against disability: in addition to freedom, the radicals with wig (interior league), most of the PRO, three other deputies of the UCR who closed lists with freedom progresses (the Mendoza Verasay and Nieri and the Cipolini chaqueño) and Morchio de Meet Frigerio
But those They were not the only votes of votes that helped the government. Los Governors of Misiones -Passalacqua- and Rio Negro -Weretilneck- The federal innovation block now were for abstention and absence. Another case was to Marcela Antola of the democracy radical block forever That he abstained, and responds to the orders of the governor between Rios, Frigerio. In this list is also the deputy of Union for the Homeland of Neuquén Tanya Bertoldi (with narrow links with Governor Figueroa) who decided to absent particularly this vote. Another suggestive absence of Peronism was to Dante Lopez Rodríguez de Catamarca: While it was not at any time in the session, the province governed by Jalil always makes some contribution to the Milei government.
Between The 160 who sought to defend the increase to retireesare the blocks that promoted it as a union for the country, federal encounter, democracy forever (although in the three there were specific cases that contributed to shielding the veto of Milei), the left front and the civic coalition.
Only 3 were added Salta Federal innovation, Tucumanos who respond to Jaldo, 3 former libertarians who left the block this Wednesday and formed a separate one, 9 of the UCR, 4 of the PRO, 2 of the Mid de Zago, 1 of the MPN and the 2 San Juan of Orrego.
The law to increase retirement (by bonus and recomposition) I was going to imply an increase of just $ 62,000 for minimal assets in August. Without this law, the minimum retirement will remain at $ 384,000 (with a bonus included). The central argument of the government has been the “fiscal cost.” But the last months took a string of measures in favor of the most concentrated economic power in the country and is less and less credible. Without going any further, to offer a high interest rate to the banks, only in the month of July Caputo and Milei spent almost 4 times more on banks than retirement and pensions. He also lowered the retention of the agribusiness and eliminated them for mining.
