Milei performs at rock concert in front of 15,000 people to save the election campaign

"Give me fire, give me the fire of your love, sang Javier Milei with a raspy voice, clad in black leather, before 15,000 people cheering him on at the limits of collective ecstasy in the Movistar Arena stadium in Buenos Aires. That fire, which the Argentine musician Sandro invoked for with pelvic movements 50 years ago, is what the president sought among his people after a month in which he endured an electoral defeat in a key provincial election,"

"How to define what happened Monday night in Buenos Aires? The presentation of a book, fearlessly titled The Construction of the Miracle, was Milei's excuse for a rock concert that was also a campaign event, a gigantic karaoke featuring songs that we all know and an adrenaline rush to overcome the bad moment. At 8:30 p.m., the lights in the covered arena went out and the sound of a shofar, a horn used for Jewish ritual purposes, was heard."

Javier Milei presented The Construction of the Miracle with a concert-like event at the Movistar Arena in Buenos Aires, performing covers before about 15,000 people. Milei wore black leather and sang with a raspy voice, walking through the audience to the beat of a Rolling Stones song. The event used dramatic imagery such as atomic explosions and featured a presidential band including lawmakers and close aides. The spectacle followed a difficult month that included an electoral defeat, a requested financial bailout from Donald Trump, and the loss of a key congressional candidate over alleged drug ties. The presentation functioned as both a book launch and a campaign rally.
