    Peru Page 1 of 30 Peru Country Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2000 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor February 23, 2001 Peru is a multiparty republic with a dominant executive branch that for most of the year used its control of the legislature and the judiciary to the detriment of the democratic process. In May President Alberto Fujimori won a third 5-year term in elections that international and domestic observers judged to be significantly flawed; however, in November the Fujimori administration collapsed, leading to a significant opening in the area of political rights. In June the Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS) and a high level delegation visited the country to discuss the strengthening of democratic institutions. The visit resulted in talks sponsored by the OAS, which began in August and included members of civil society, the Government, and the political opposition. In August President Fujimori's Peru 2000 alliance gained a majority in Congress after more than a dozen elected legislators changed their affiliation from opposition parties to Peru 2000. Charges of corruption against presidential advisor and de facto head of the intelligence service Vladimiro Montesinos led President Fujimori to announce on September 16 that he intended to hold new national elections in April 2001, in which he would not be a candidate. On November 22, President Fujimori sent his resignation to Congress from Japan, where he remained at year's end. Congress refused to accept his resignation and instead voted to remove him from office for "moral incapacity." The President of Congress Valentin Paniagua of the Popular Action Party succeeded to the presidency on November 22.

  • Keiko Fujimori: “I Will Respect the No Presidential Reelection”
    Elections in Peru Keiko Fujimori: “I will respect the no presidential reelection” In 1996, Alberto Fujimori enacted a policy of “authentic interpretation” of the Constitution and presented himself for reelection. The 10 presidential candidates of Peru celebrated/held Sunday an electoral debate before the elections this week. The favorite, Keiko Fujimori (Popular Force) assured that she will respect “the no presidential reelection”. In accordance with the Constitution, the presidential mandate is five years and an ex­president can only return to stand after another presidential period has transpired. In 1996, her father, Alberto Fujimori, enacted a policy of “authentic interpretation” of the Constitution and presented himself for reelection. In her final intervention of the presidential debate which occurred Sunday in Lima, a week before the general elections in Peru, the favorite in the polls, Keiko Fujimori, leader of Popular Force, signed a commitment in which she guaranteed the “unrestricted respect to the democratic order and human rights and never again an April 5th” alluding to the coup of her father, Alberto Fujimori, 24 years ago, closing Congress and the Judicial Power, as a preamble of eight years of authoritarianism. Fujimori was attacked by several of the other nine candidates, they alluded to Government of her father. “She has little working experience and is the first daughter of the most corrupt Government of Peru” said the economist and only indigenous aspirant Miguel Hilario, from the political organization “Peru Progressing”. The leftist leader of the Large Front, Verónica Mendoza, cited figures from the Legal Defense Council of the State and she recalled the 6 billion dollars that were lost under Fujimori.

LADB Article Id: 52531 ISSN: 1089-1560 Venezuelans Collect Signatures For and Against Chavez by LADB Staff Category/Department: Venezuela Published: 2003-12-12 Peruvian President Alejandro Toledo was recently hit by several resignations within his Cabinet and the possible collapse of his party's coalition with its parliamentary ally. This came on top of continued low approval ratings for the beleaguered executive, raising speculation that Toledo might not be able to complete his five-year term. On Nov. 14, Defense Minister Aurelio Loret de Mola and Foreign Minister Allan Wagner both gave Toledo their resignations. Wagner said he was leaving to become general secretary of the Comunidad de Naciones Andinas (CAN). Loret de Mola had expressed frustration with what he called an inadequate defense budget. Earlier, on Oct. 7, Presidency Secretary Guillermo Gonzalez Arica resigned, after a lengthy battle with the opposition and some members of the governing Peru Posible (PP), who accused him of preventing access to the president.

  • Peru, Where the City Is Sleeping
    Analysis Paper 01/2021 07/01/2021 Andrés González Martín Peru, where the city is sleeping. Visit the WEBSITE Receive the E-NEWSLETTER Peru, where the city is sleeping. Abstract: The presidential terms in Peru are five years. However, the latter, which began on July 28, 2016 and ends with the April 2021 elections, seems much longer. In a single presidential cycle, Peru has had five presidents. Fujimorism, with an absolute majority in the congress, blocked the executive power, causing continuous government crises and, finally, the resignation of President Kuczynski and President Vizcarra, who was forced to dissolve the congress and advance the parliamentary elections. The legislative elections changed the scene in Congress. Popular Force, Keiko Fujimori's party, affected by internal crises and corruption scandals, collapsed and it does not seem possible that it will recover. The new chamber brought in new populist parties and remained highly fragmented, awaiting the April 2021 elections. Following in Chile's footsteps, some political groups in the chamber have proposed a bill to draft a new constitution. Meanwhile, popular disaffection with politicians continues to grow in a country with little trust in its institutions and where the city slept too long ago thinking about the lesser evil. Keywords: Keiko Fujimori, political corruption, Popular Force, Odebrecht, Martin Vizcarra, Kuczynski. *NOTE: The ideas contained in the Analysis Papers are the responsibility of their authors.

Primer mandatario mestizo del país con acusados rasgos indígenas, preservó la constitucionalidad de las instituciones democráticas tras la década autoritaria del fujimorismo, lanzó iniciativas concertadoras, saneó las cuentas públicas e impulsó un crecimiento ligado a la expansión comercial que tuvo como grandes estrategias los acuerdos de libre cambio con Estados Unidos y el MERCOSUR. Ahora bien, la nueva riqueza no se tradujo en una reducción tangible del paro, la pobreza y las desigualdades sociales. Toledo vio hundirse su popularidad al ritmo de los casos de corrupción, que salpicaron a decenas de familiares y colaboradores, y a él mismo, así como las crisis de Gobierno, dejándole varias veces en la cuerda floja. En cuanto a la política regional, alentó la integración del subcontinente y fue el principal inspirador de la Comunidad Sudamericana de Naciones (CSN, futura UNASUR), que él consideraba compatible con el ALCA deseada por Estados Unidos, lo que le enfrentó al venezolano Chávez. http://www.cidob.org 1 of 20 Biografía 1.

Cipriani is the first member of the ultraconservative group Opus Dei to be elevated to the rank of cardinal in Latin America. Prosecutorial allegations about a plot to link Cipriani to former intelligence chief Vladimiro Montesinos have led to a crisis within the hierarchy of Peru's Catholic Church, causing its leaders to call on government for "true justice." Progressives accused of delivering forged documents One of the accused is the ex-president of the Conferencia Episcopal Peruana (CEP), Luis Bambaren, a Jesuit prelate who is popular particularly in marginalized social sectors and is seen as a leader in the progressive wing of the Peruvian clergy.

The government of Cuzco led the legalization movement with a decision in late June, and the government of Huanuco followed the next month. The decision brought harsh condemnation from the government of President Alejandro Toledo and especially from Prime Minister Carlos Ferrero. Cuzco's leader in the declaration of legalization responded to his federal critics with strong rhetoric, speaking of indigenous heritage and regional autonomy. First Cuzco, then Huanuco Cuzco's regional president, Carlos Cuaresma, announced on June 19 that his government would permit free cultivation of coca. Cuaresma said the measure would recognize "plantings of coca leaf in the Cuzco valleys of La Convencion, Qosnipata, and Yanatile" as "zones of traditional production with a legal character." Subsequent reports on Cuaresma's decree said that the valleys of Pichari and Quimbiri would be excluded.
