Overview

• At Buenos Aires’s Movistar Arena, the president presented his new book at an event that doubled as a rally where he performed Argentine rock hits.
• The book, La construcción de un milagro, is described as largely a collection of his 2024 speeches and features a chainsaw on the cover as a nod to his austerity agenda.
• Addressing the crowd, he said structural changes would come after December 10, citing fiscal and labor overhauls as examples.
• The showcase comes during a difficult stretch for his movement, with poor recent results in Buenos Aires Province and Congress passing two laws despite his vetoes.
• Campaign turbulence intensified with reports that key candidate José Luis Espert resigned over accusations of drug-trafficking links and another candidate withdrew after taking money from a businessman under U.S. narcotics investigation.
