		<description><![CDATA[Peruvian President Alan Garcia's push to lure foreign investors to the Amazon basin has run into homegrown opposition, with indigenous leaders saying he has disregarded a U.N. declaration that protects their rights to control land and natural resources.

Thousands of indigenous people have protested in Peru's Amazon for much of the past 40 days, hoping to pressure Garcia to modify or strike down a series of laws he passed last year that encourage oil, mining and agricultural companies to invest billions of dollars in the mostly pristine region.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is a story repeated throughout modern human history - people living sustainable lifestyles on land rich in resources, who are not forced to work on extracting them for a pittance and are not contributing to the economy in the way the wealthy would like... have no value. They must change in the name of progress. They must move into shanty towns, work dangerous jobs until the resources are gone and they must spend the rest of their time consuming alcohol. This is the story of Brazil's Amazonian progress, and it's a "success story" that Peruvian President Alan Garcia wanted to repeat in Peru.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It has been more than a year since the Government of Hugo Chavez attempted to sway the Peruvian election in his favour by providing support to his candidate Ollanta Humala. At a time when foreign investment in the mining industry was and still is carrying almost 50% of the economy the idea was to kick out these investors and nationalise the industry. When Chavez resorted to insulting Humala's opponents on his marathon TV show this led Peru to cut diplomatic ties in protest. After some months, Chavez came close to apologising when he met with President Alan Garcia and ties were restored.]]></description>

The project failed and $400 million disappeared into an abyss. Now, with only a few kilometres of the electric train system constructed, there is talk of
finishing it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There has been much in the news recently about protests from Peru's coca farmers and forced eradication by the Government.

Peru is the second largest exporter of refined cocaine in the world, and due to its size probably the largest producer of the coca leaf. Peru had a serious problem in the 1980s and 1990s with cocaine production as the Shining Path terrorist group began using the drug as a means to fund their war against the Peruvian State. Since then, production levels had became less of an issue, and what coca was grown was more often used for local medicinal and cultural needs - not all, not most but a slightly larger part (Ratio 9:100).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was 12:00pm, midday, not 12:05 or 12:30. Nor was it close to 1pm. The Peruvian custom of being late, the Government hopes, is now banished forever.

Poor punctuality is commonplace in Peru. It's not unusual for someone to be as much as an hour late for a social gathering or even a business appointment. Are you meeting a Peruvian at 1pm? Don't expect them any time before 1:30pm. La Hora Peruana as it is called in Spanish, or Peruvian Time in English is a throwback to colonial times, from which this bad custom has continued.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[El Comercio is the oldest surviving newspaper in Peru. It was founded in 1839 and its circulation is about 120,000.

The centre-right newspaper is said to be the most respected of the Peruvian newspapers and has had a long history to make it so. Independence and Truth was its motto through the late 1800's and until challenged by the military Government of left-leaning Juan Velasco Alvarado who seized the newspaper, and the country, in the 1970s. Independence and Truth were put on hold as Velasco persecuted dissidents and political enemies. When the democratic Government re-took power after an economic collapse, the paper was given back to its private owners as its first act.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Peruvian economy is definitely on a role with good news almost every day.
To be honest, it's been nothing but progress since Fujimori ended hyperinflation and Toledo passed a number of good bills. For years now, the Peruvian economy has been growing by almost 8% and shows no signs of slowing down. It's been two years since my first visit to Peru and the differences are apparent in just this short time. Some examples of this are the fact that shops in Lima now have a readily available supply of small change and cash registers are filled with money - something that just wasn't the case only two years ago as people and business went from hand-to-mouth. Another example is that street sellers are slightly less desperate for your S./1 and leave you alone when you say no. Yet another is the Plaza Vea now stocks dozens of Plasma TVs and expensive stereo systems.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Through following the Marxist "shining path to revolution" their aim was to overthrow the bourgeois Government and its institutions - police, army, courts. They would replace these with a communist peasant-revolutionary system based on anarchy.

They were formed in the 60's by Abimael Guzmán, a university teacher, and began spreading their message through universities and various school councils, before forming militias in the late 1970's, starting in Ayacucho.]]></description>

Between smiling, Alan was aggressively barking orders at his incredibly incompetent security services. There was a flurry of activity from security at the end of the parade due to an event that happened when he was taking his seat...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Plaza de Armas was sealed off today to prevent protesters approaching the presidential palace. Only people wanting access local business and tourists were allowed through into the plaza, so it was strangely quiet when we passed through to go to lunch to celebrate a family event.

We ate at the famous "Cordano" a small bar/restaurant to the right of the Palacio del Gobierno. This bar was frequented by the rich and powerful in Lima's heyday and is still a favourite for congressmen and local businessmen, as well as more well-informed tourists.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At the end of last night, an initial quick count was conducted that was almost exactly in line with the exit polls. The actual counting was started, and while waiting for the preliminary results, two other exit polls suggested a Garcia win.

Humala had briefly claimed victory, saying that hope had won over fear, and that a new beginning of nationalistic change was upon Peru. However, after the initial quick count he relented, with Garcia then claiming victory. He agreed... hope had won over fear.]]></description>

Ollanta Humala, the nationalist nutcase, has been telling people that Alan Garcia will be a pawn of the US, and the Peruvian national press has strongly criticised Humala's status as a pawn of Hugo Chavez.]]></description>

Humala, the first round winner, is now trailing behind former President Alan Garcia. Most of this support for Garcia is from the third place and pro-business candidate Lourdes Flores. Her supporters favour Garcia as the lesser of two evils.]]></description>
