Argentinian actress and mother of a child with a disability, Julieta Díaz, revealed that a collective injunction was "blocked" in the city of Campana, where benefits from the Incluir Salud program were being sought. She stated that behind the conflict are officials of the government of Javier Milei, whom she accused of exercising "pornographic cruelty".
Díaz stated that the ANDIS case, the bribes, and the cash found in the home of one of the suspects who stole medication money from people with disabilities, especially participants in the Incluir Salud program—the most vulnerable citizens without health insurance—were central to the issue.
"They stole from these people and laughed at them, while they told us to our faces, after winning the elections, that 'there is no money' and that we had to make a little more effort," she added.
She explained that the federal judge in Campana had ruled in their favor and rejected all government exceptions. However, the Nation's Attorney General—the head of the state's lawyers and President Javier Milei—filed a recusal against that judge, claiming he "prejudged" the case because he stated that the decree had suspended the law (which the decree literally says). This delays everything. The remaining funds from the first disbursement to actually implement the program are not being released.
"Is there no one who can stop this or take charge?" Díaz asked.
She also mentioned that there are two very important disability-related cases in the federal justice system. One is the ongoing corruption investigation in ANDIS, where prosecutor Franco Piccardi has two businessmen in custody (one refused to testify from Mendoza, and $700,000 in cash was found at the other's home). There are 15 accused individuals, including former ANDIS director Diego Spagnuolo, incriminating audio recordings about "getting people in to steal," and an accusation of 48 billion pesos. "The other case is ours: families with children with disabilities who filed a collective injunction because the President issued a decree suspending the Disability Emergency Law that Congress had approved and rejected his veto. More than 20 organizations have joined us."
