The Peruvian Left

This Washington Post article comments on how hurt the Peruvian left has been by its history. Lourdes Flores, a fiscal conservative and pro business congresswoman, is running neck and neck with Lt. Col. Ollanta Humala, a tough military man in favor of old nationalism. Both candidates leave no room for a left party that is still struggling to gain a foothold after a rough history that has made the 'left' a "dirty word."
