Perú says NO to the imperialist Chavez

The people of Perú have sent a very clear message that Chavez’ choice was not going to be theirs. The country opted to elect Alan Garcia, a piss poor ex-president, but the people were sick of Chavez’ meddling. Every Latin American leftist and nationalist presidential candidate should have Chavez as its benefactor.

Former President Alan Garcia, whose 1985-90 government left Peru mired in guerrilla violence and economic chaos, won back the office Sunday by defeating a fiery nationalist ex-soldier who was endorsed by Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez.

Garcia’s lead of 55.5 percent against 44.5 percent for Ollanta Humala with 77.3 percent of the vote counted was insurmountable, said the head of the electoral agency, Magdalena Chu.
