RE:Two extremists vie in a run-off for Peru’s presidencyKeiko Fujimori is a piece of work too. Convicted of corruption, and jailed. Her father was tossed in jail convicted of human rights violations. (while President of Peru)
I also wouldn't be suprised if the Fujimoris have a few Japanese WWII war criminal relatives that escaped to Peru to avoid the gallows after Japan surrendered.
So you basicaly have a far left communist running against a corrupt criminal family dynasty. Typical South American bannana republic stuff, and nothing new.
The good thing, I believe the Peruvian congress has all the power, so it's not like President can unilaterally make huge decisions like nationalize mining. I also haven't read anything (so far) that makes me nervous.
