Argentine musician Fito Páez has engaged in public criticism regarding security practices and the state of democracy in Argentina.

During a concert in Mar del Plata, Páez interrupted his performance to protest the conduct of private security staff, who were reportedly ordering audience members to remain seated. Comparing the behavior to past authoritarian repression, he stated, “I don't want to feel the 70s in my country again.” The security workers' union, Sutcapra, subsequently issued a statement defending its employees against what it described as public insults.

In a separate instance, Páez criticized the administration of President Javier Milei, describing the current political landscape as a “parody of democracy.” He argued that the influence of financial interests has superseded the power of the vote, asserting that “the little story of democracy is over; finance reigns and politicians are puppets of the moment.”
