Without a doubt, This triumph is the product of the fight of the disability collective, which months ago is mobilizing. At a time of deep crisis of the government of La Libertad, it advances, for the public knowledge of the audios that involve Karina Milei and Eduardo “Lule” Menem in a network of corruption, based on the medicines bought by the National Disability Agency (Andis).
A massive demonstration was present in the vicinity of Congressand also important mobilizations in other parts of the country, such as Córdoba City. Although in previous days, disabilities and family people were cowardly repressed by the police, the strength of the fight continued to increase; stimulated in turn by the corruption scandal in the Andis.
“It’s law,” was the motto with which they celebrated the victory of the group.
“We feel great satisfaction and we feel that the resistance is a disable that was born from our group, as well as retirees, retirees, jubilades, and that we managed to push that Congress complies with the popular mandate, listen to the voice of the people and reject the nefarious veto of Milei,” said Lorena Aguirre, lawyer with a visual disability and member of the Disc Assembly. He added: “We are going to continue organizing and demanding rights until we have a full life.”
In this way, the strength of the struggle and mobilization managed to twist his arm to the adjustment of the corrupt government of freedom progresses.
The conquered norm will govern throughout the national territory and establishes the emergency in disability until December 31, 2026 and is extendable for one more year. It establishes an update of benefits to compensate for the difference between current values and inflation from 2023 to date. In turn, the debt with the providers must be settled and the tariffs of the basic performance system, according to the inflation rates reported by INDEC.
Non -contributory pensions will be equivalent to 70% percent of the minimum retirement. People who charge this benefit can work while they do not exceed the two minimum wages. And the Executive Power must finance with national treasury resources emergency compensation for providers.
On the other hand, employers who take workers with disability certificates, for an indeterminate time, will be exempted by 50% of the payment of employer contributions and retirement boxes for three years.
