Milei Vetoes Pension Boost, Citing Fiscal Concerns
Argentina's President Milei has stopped a plan to increase pensions and help people with disabilities.
He said he did this because he wants to make sure the country's money is managed well.
The people who make laws in Argentina had already approved these plans, but now they might not happen.
However, those lawmakers can still try to overrule the President's decision.
Argentine President Javier Milei vetoed a pension boost and protections for people with disabilities.
Lawmakers had passed the bills in July.
Milei cited fiscal balance as the reason for the veto.
The decision to veto had been announced last month.
Congress can still overturn the vetoes.
