La Construcción del Milagro (English, The Construction of the Miracle) is a 2025 book by the president of Argentina Javier Milei.
Publication On October 6, 2025, Milei presented his book at the Movistar Arena in Buenos Aires. The event, broadcast on social media and the public television channel TV Pública, combined a musical performance with a political talk. The president entered the stage to "Panic Show" (2000) and performed several Argentine rock songs, also singing "Hava Nagila" after expressing support for Israel. He introduced the musicians as "La Banda Presidencial" ("The Presidential Band"), composed of political allies including the Benegas Lynch brothers, Marcelo Duclós, and deputy Lilia Lemoine. Earlier that day, Milei had streamed part of the soundcheck on Instagram.
Several media outlets described the rally as "electoral in tone" and noted that some song lyrics were altered to reference La Libertad Avanza's slogans. Milei dedicated the event to U.S. conservative activist Charlie Kirk, projected images of allied international leaders, and told the opposition they "may have won a round, but not the battle." A video generated with artificial intelligence and styled after the Star Wars franchise—specifically a scene from Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi (2017)—depicted Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and Axel Kicillof as Sith villains alongside spaceships bearing the logos of Clarín, La Nación, and C5N, while Milei appeared as Jedi Luke Skywalker, symbolizing his self-proclaimed "cultural battle."
Reception Press and social-media coverage highlighted the blend of politics and showmanship, noting that the event took place three weeks before the legislative elections and shortly after José Luis Espert withdrew his candidacy. Opposition figures and commentators criticized the performance as "detached from reality" and inappropriate for a sitting president, whereas government allies defended it as an act of authenticity and reaffirmation of Milei's "cultural battle." International media outlets—including AFP, Associated Press, CNN en Español, EFE, El País, La Stampa, The Guardian, and The Daily Telegraph—reported on the spectacle, describing it as a politically charged concert held amid economic hardship and electoral tension. Likewise, outlets such as The Economist, Financial Times, Bloomberg, and The Wall Street Journal criticized Milei after the concert, highlighting Argentina's economic deterioration and a shift in the international perception of his presidency.
