#as a French person I'm all the more sympathetic to the Argentinean cause

Have you been up to the Milei election in Argentina? He was using Pochita and Chainsaw Man as symbols for new liberalism, hoping to see how Fujimoto answer that.
I'm aware of that, and I find it all the more ironic that Chainsaw Man is about the consequences of capitalism on childhood, identity and creation.
Pochita is the one who allies himself with a boy abandoned by the system, drowning in debt and with no access to education.

The first trailer uses a sequence shot to show passers-by walking down the street without paying any attention to a breathless child buried in an alleyway.
I've already analysed the anti-capitalist nature of Chainsaw Man, as well as the fact that Fujimoto talks not only about his relationship with the fans but also about the effects of a frantic pace on his creation.

Milei intends to cut into public spending like the anarcho-capitalist that he is. Yet Denji is the result of a lack of public spending on child protection, just as part 2 focuses on the effects of a consumer society (symbolised by derivative products) to forget the real problems (the war with demons) just as they are unaware that a boy is behind the figure of Chainsaw Man
A boy who carries the weight of the society in which he wants to be included, without any real success, and whose back becomes bent and whose gaze emptied.

Pochita symbolises love, the far right advocates hate
So when Milei has Pochita in her hands, it's all the more contradictory
I don't think Fujimoto will comment on this, but he knows all about contradictions
A symbol of almost unlimited creation, of a creator who does nothing but wonder about art while hating his own profession, he is above all an author who hides behind the figure of Pochita when he appears in public for fear of dying for his own creations.
Ultra-liberalism is the death of creation
