Overview
- At Buenos Aires’ Movistar Arena, President Javier Milei drew thousands for a concert-style event that blended live rock performances with a political address.
- Milei sang Argentine rock hits before presenting “La Construcción del Milagro,” his fourteenth book, a collection of speeches featuring a chainsaw on the cover as an austerity symbol.
- He urged backers to “not give up” and said structural fiscal and labor reforms would be pursued after Dec. 10.
- The launch came less than three weeks before the midterm elections, following setbacks that included weak provincial results and congressional defeats reported in recent weeks.
- Pressure on his coalition intensified as José Luis Espert resigned after accusations tied to drug trafficking and another party candidate quit following reports of a large payment from an entrepreneur under U.S. investigation.
