Milei Turns Book Launch Into Rock Show to Rally Support in Buenos Aires

The spectacle sought to rally supporters before the Oct. 26 vote following recent legislative defeats.

Overview

  • At the Buenos Aires launch, Milei fronted his Banda Presidencial and sang "Panic Show," "Demoliendo Hoteles" and the folk song "Hava Nagila."
  • Screens displayed U.S. President Donald Trump and activist Charlie Kirk as the crowd chanted lines about Cristina Kirchner’s house arrest.
  • Nearly 15,000 supporters filled the Movistar Arena while protesters gathered outside, with only minor scuffles reported.
  • The 573-page book compiles his recent speeches and writings presenting what he calls an Argentine economic "miracle."
  • The event followed a key candidate’s resignation over alleged drug ties and Congress rejecting two vetoes, with markets unsettled despite U.S. aid assurances and critics citing devaluation and falling consumption.
