Argentina's president Javier Milei sings rock song at book launch event

Javier Milei performed at his own rock concert to launch a new book after pulling out of Argentina's biggest literary fair over criticism from its "Leftist" organisers.

The Argentinian president, 53, donned a black leather coat for a rendition of a punk rock song in Buenos Aires on Wednesday, before leading a more conventional discussion on economic theory.

"I'm the king, I'm the lion!" sang Mr Milei during the musical opening, which saw him joined on stage by Congressman 'Bertie' Benegas Lynch, a political supporter, on drums and his personal biographer on bass.

"After the performance he led a discussion on economic theory" An astonishing character. Here's hoping this story doesn't end in disaster.

Javier Milei Is eccentric for sure, but he's genuine and tells it like it is. He's also very well-educated and highly intelligent. Argentina loves him - especially the young people.

He is a master in getting his message through. He's been using the same strategy long before he ran for president, and it worked. The biggest political party was defeated pretty much by a single very smart dude.

Leather jacket, strong ideology, rock and passion! we are back in the game, viva la libertad carajo!

The short term results of his policies are intriguing. If that trend stretches out for a couple of years, shrinking government spending becomes a more compelling story that can't be shrugged off.

I love this president, Argentina deserves it, we need this kind of guy in France, the country is rotten by leftism and communism, our economy and security is disastrous

[eduardomachin]

Me encanta que todos los comentarios insultandolo en ingles sean nombres y apellidos de argentinos, COMO LES PERONCHOS!

[alfonsomango_suyu]

Long live Milei! Down with Sánchez, Trudeau, Biden and etc.

[sycapitan]

Entertaining performance by Milei.

Tony Blinken needs to up his game.
Perhaps he can do "won't be fooled again" next time and smash his guitar at the end.

He pays the royalty so is perfectly legal to use the song. The issue is the rock band is Kirchnerista so they dont like hia ideas but they have to shut up as they are paid lol
