Overview

• The Guardian published a sharply critical piece titled “Burning Down the House: Milei passes himself off as a rock star while Argentina’s economy collapses.”
• Milei staged a concert-style performance at Buenos Aires’ Movistar Arena before presenting his book La Construcción del Milagro to an audience of roughly 15,000.
• Commentators quoted by the outlet said the president appears politically and economically weakened and described the show as an attempt to “revitalize an exhausted myth.”
• Coverage links the event’s tone to a broader crisis marked by austerity measures affecting retirees and hospitals and by a steep drop in the peso’s value.
• Reports also reference electoral setbacks and a corruption case involving his sister as Milei urged votes for La Libertad Avanza ahead of October 26, with one outlet mentioning a purported Trump rescue pledge that remains uncorroborated here.
