Argentine President Milei Rocks Heavy Metal At Book Launch Event

On the night of May 22, Argentine President Javier Milei took to the stage with the charisma and flair of a rock star rather than an economist-turned-politician. Clad in a black leather jacket and with a fervent energy, Milei belted out his rendition of "Panic Show," a hit song by the iconic Argentine rock band La Renga. The performance was part of the launch event for his latest book, "Capitalism, Socialism and the Neoclassical Trap," and the atmosphere was charged with both excitement and controversy.
Supporters in the crowd enthusiastically cheered him on, their voices rising in chants against Spain's Prime Minister, Pedro Sanchez. This public display of animosity followed a recent diplomatic spat, wherein tensions had escalated between Milei and Sanchez. The friction reached a boiling point when Sanchez recalled the Spanish ambassador from Argentina in response to Milei's derogatory comments about Sanchez's wife, Begona Gomez, made during a rally organized by the far-right Vox party in Madrid.
Despite the electrifying atmosphere of the event, Milei's performance drew sharp criticism from his detractors. Opposition politicians and critics derided the spectacle as inappropriate and out-of-touch, especially given the severe economic hardships facing many Argentines. Under Milei's stringent fiscal policies, poverty has surged to nearly 60%, and job layoffs have become increasingly common.
Milei is no stranger to theatrics; his campaign events frequently featured his musical performances, and he once caused a national sensation by dressing up as an "anarcho-capitalist superhero" at an anime convention. However, his latest performance amid a struggling nation has sparked a heated debate over the appropriateness of such displays by a sitting president.
