PERU: Humala allies hit by two crises
President Ollanta Humala’s circumstantial allies of the Perú Posible (PP) party have been plunged into two concurrent crises, one involving party leader and former president (2001-2006) Alejandro Toledo’s alleged involvement in money laundering and other offences, the other arising from purported evidence of links between a PP legislator and a wanted drug trafficker. Humala has been treading carefully, trying to balance his government’s commitment to fight drug trafficking and corruption with his reliance on support from the PP in congress since his Gana Perú coalition lost its majority as a result of defections in early August [WR-14-31;34].
