Peru Elections
I'm not going to attempt to give my opinion on the upcoming Peru elections, since it is not my country. Yes, the outcome will obviously affect Bolivia, but I'll just sit back and watch. Tonight I had the opportunity to watch a portion of the Presidential debate between Ollanta Humala and Alan Garcia. To my surprise, Evo Morales' name was brought up by Garcia, claiming Peru should not apply "Evo Morales-style politics" to that country, which was a reference to a possible Humala victory, who has been lazily compared to Morales. When was the last time that a Bolivian leader was such a topic of discussion in a neighboring country's elections?
