Javier Miley “felt like singing.” In Buenos Aires, the Argentine president appeared before thousands of supporters wearing a leather coat and tousled hair – and “declared himself their king”:

The event was free and was held at Luna Park, which can accommodate up to 8,000 people. Before Miley, there were greats like Frank Sinatra, Duran Duran and Aha on stage, As reported by The Guardian newspaper.

He quarreled with a rock band
However, the band La Renga, whose song “Panic Show” he covered that evening (and which he has been using at his campaign rallies for years), didn’t seem to be his biggest fans. The band distances itself from Miley’s liberal politics She has already asked not to use her work. However, the eccentric politician doesn’t seem to care. Instead, he prefers to change the text so that it better reflects his message: “I am the king. I will eat the elite for breakfast.”

But critics say the “clearly unpresidential” idea will do little to solve problems such as growing poverty, unemployment and one of the highest inflation rates in the world. Argentina is currently suffering from its worst economic crisis in two decades – a situation that Miley pledged to address after his election last November. However, six months after he took office, three out of five citizens still live in poverty, and the annual inflation rate has risen to nearly 300%, higher than in Syria, Lebanon and Venezuela. However, monthly inflation has slowed somewhat in recent months. (LZO)
