They ended the statement with a strong message: “Finally, we would like to point out that laws should not be regressive, and this bill clearly is. It violates, among other things, the right to access to health, rehabilitation, education, social protection and is a clear violation of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and other international treaties. It should be noted that in August this year our country received observations on the lack of protection of persons with disabilities, which we should ignore.”
Providers in crisis and without a horizon for 2026
The concern was also expressed in statements from the ministry Chairman des Chamber of Disabled Service Providers of CórdobaCarolina Armeloni, in an interview broadcast by The twelve, where he described the scenario as “extremely serious”.

There are institutions that are heavily indebted, there are institutions that were unable to pay bonuses or could only pay them in installments.
