It is relevant to political analysis Venezuelan and Latin American social and geopolitical context, particularly the recent presidential election in Peru. A country in turmoil since the late 90's when high unpopularity ends with the government of Alan García, hyperinflation and terrorist groups. In 1992 comes to the presidency of Alberto Fujimori wins a stranger to one of the most respected men in the intellectual world as Alvaro Vargas Llosa. With that victory began to move, our Peruvian brothers, the path of authoritarianism truncated by corruption scandals; not undemocratic. From there, the transition from Paniagua and Toledo's victory with Peru Posible. In 2006 triumphs, again, Alan Garcia against the current colored Chavista nationalist Ollanta Humala.
With Alan Garcia in Peru achieved an economic recovery, but according to indicators Latinobarmetro with high levels of dissatisfaction with democracy. Where people who feel they have difficulties to make ends meet fell from: 27% in 2003 to 12% in 2010 and only 14% considered that the distribution of wealth is fair (while in Venezuela is 38 %). Pollster concludes that the evolution of GDP in Peru shows as satisfaction with their democracy is almost inversely proportional to its GDP.
one hand people are not satisfied with democracy and other inequitable distribution of wealth. It remains the most unequal continent on the planet. This product, I believe the election results this year because the inequalities underlying problem remains unresolved. No candidate reaches 30% of voter preference, and Toledo after the ambulance. Weighed more in the reminder of Peruvians have solved the hyperinflation and the Shining Path fighting the economic rebound Fujimori to Toledo and all of its international development Latin America "Center for Global Development."
people to vote for Humala finished a nationalist military coup and all liabilities Keiko authoritarian father. But what does that Peruvians prefer to vote this way? What should address the political leadership in Peru? Is the quality of democracy or social justice? We will not address democracy with social justice. Paraphrasing Caldera we do with a democracy that does not give us food.
This reading should consider the preparation for the elections in 2012. While true that Chavez carries high levels of unpopularity and every day the government is inefficient, not is also true that people feel that there are higher levels of social equality. Therefore, part of the electoral bid should be directed to the social leveling through: equal opportunities. The thing is as easy as many think.
