Juan Grabois criticized Javier Milei after the pension ban: "You are not above the law."

Juan Grabois criticized Javier Milei after the pension ban: "You are not above the law."

Social leader Juan Grabois harshly criticized President Javier Milei after he announced he would veto the pension increase , the pension moratorium , and the disability emergency , initiatives that were approved this Thursday by the Senate. "You are not above the law ," Grabois wrote on social media.

On his X account, the Frente Patria Grande leader addressed the president directly: “Milei, you have to pay pensions and care for the disabled. It's the law.” In another section of his post, he added: “It's called democracy. If you don't like it, take the fall.” Grabois's statements came hours after the approval of three key bills that the government rejects.

Milei, you have to pay pensions and care for the disabled. It's the law. You're not above the law. It's called democracy. If you don't like it, take the hit.

The package approved by the Senate includes recognition of the 7.2% increase corresponding to January , which was not included in the 12.5% ​​decree granted in April. It also establishes an increase in the pension bonus , which for 15 months was frozen at $70,000 and is now $110,000.

For the ruling party, these laws have a significant fiscal impact. The Casa Rosada (Presidential Palace) warned that the regulations approved by Congress are not only "unfeasible" but could also affect the adjustment plan. They also questioned the validity of the session and announced that if the presidential veto fails, they will take the matter to court .

During an event marking the anniversary of the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange, Javier Milei doubled down. “We're going to veto. And if the veto is overturned, we're going to take it to court,” he asserted. He added: “What happened today, we already knew yesterday. It's an act of desperation because they know that in October, freedom will be swept away.”

The president left no room for doubt: he reaffirmed his decision to veto the laws, even if they are voted on by both chambers. He also said that the opposition's potential judicial advance does not worry him: "Even if the courts were to address the issue quickly, the damage they could cause would be minimal."

With tensions rising, Javier Milei once again staked his claim in front of Congress, while opposition leaders like Juan Grabois denounce the President's attempt to disregard the functioning of the democratic system. The battle over pension increases and the pension bonus has only just begun.
