Peru's upcoming election is worth watching because the two main candidates are polar opposites. One is right-wing, pro-business and the other is nationalist and anti-globalist. The battle lines are clearly drawn for voters.
The News Telegraph in the U.K. released a story on the upcoming elections in Peru.
Ollanta Humala is described as a left-wing authoritarian.
His competition is Lourdes Flores, who represents the right-wing and is popular with big business, including global corporations.
The interest here is not right- or left-wing politics, but anti-globalism vs. pro-globalism.
Humala flatly states, "
The new world struggle is not between the Left and the
Right, it is between the globalisers and the globalised and Peru falls
into the latter category. "We have to fight the pernicious effects of globalisation. I am a nationalist and anti-imperialist."
This editor has not seen the battle line drawn so clearly by a national politician. Not surprisingly, Humala already has wide support of poor Peruvians throughout the country.
