A TN journalist became emotional on air during the disability emergency march: "Let's put our chest out."

Santiago Martella broke down live while talking about his son and professionals. The proposal was approved by 172 votes in favor and 73 against. It now goes to the Senate.
The Chamber of Deputies rejected President Javier Milei's veto of the emergency law on disability on Wednesday . The opposition reached the two-thirds vote necessary to continue with the passage, dealing a severe blow to the ruling party. The result was 172 votes to 73, with two abstentions.
Outside, meanwhile, family members and organizations joined in a demonstration in front of Congress. They expressed their concern and expressed their solidarity with the health sector. In this context, the TN channel's coverage provided a moment filled with emotion.
Journalist Santiago Martella broke down on air when talking about his son and acknowledging that the difficulties the families describe also affect him personally. "Everything they tell us also represents and reflects me," he began.
Martella noted that when medical reimbursements are delayed, she feels "ashamed" and praised the strength of the families who carry on despite the obstacles: "They have a huge heart and a magic that keeps us going. The important thing is that they see us continuing to face every situation with our hearts."
The journalist added: "At home, none of us here at the march will stop fighting or give up. We will always move forward because that's what our children see. If we continue, our children will too."
He also highlighted the connection between professionals and children with disabilities: "It's very beautiful, and we hope this spreads and has a positive impact on everyone."
