Argentina’s President Javier Milei looked more like a rockstar than a politician, as he belted out heavy metal music at a recent concert. He also declared himself a monarch as he bellowed “I am the king” and “I am the lion” into the microphone.

The South American country is facing one of the world’s highest inflations with the annual rate surging up to almost 300 percent. Meanwhile, poverty has crept up to nearly 60 percent under Milei’s administration. Argentines are grappling with Milei’s “chainsaw campaign” which saw thousands of job cuts and slashed subsidies and state spending.
