They are all the same. I don’t know how many times the ordinary people have chosen those words to describe the Latin american politicians for me, during my travels in the region. What they are referring to is corruption. How politicians regardless of partifärg just seems to want to grab.
I could not help but think of the description when the news came that The korruptionsanklagade expresident Alan Garcia decided to take his own life when police knocked on his door.
in Peru, it is easy to take the words for truth. It is not just García, who is being investigated for taking bribes – the same applies to his predecessor, Alejandro Toledo, as well as his two successors, Ollanta Humala and Pedro Pablo Kuczynski.

The four expresidenterna were each other’s rivals for power, with a different ideological profile. Sakpolitiskt it was, however, about differences in degree, not nature. They all accepted the market economy principles and were careful with spending. The experiments did not materialize, regardless of who was elected.
this was not the case in Argentina, Ecuador and Venezuela during the same period. Where you had to choose between the candidates who wanted to have ”a new economic model and those who want to defend the old. Voters chose the former.

That good prospects can be lost in the political experimentverkstaden is a workshop that is just Argentina, Ecuador and, in particular, Venezuela evidence.
Certainly benefited from the García & Co of high commodity prices. But such good conditions can be lost in the political experimentverkstaden is a workshop that is just Argentina, Ecuador and, in particular, Venezuela evidence.
high in the peruvian policy over the past 15 years was the real konfliktnivån thus relatively low. The sakpolitiska the battle was brought within commonly accepted frameworks.

APRA belongs to a family of parties which can most easily described as Latin america’s response to Europe’s social democracy.
