PERU: Humala accuses Chile of spying
President Ollanta Humala has accused Chile of spying on Peru. This is not the first time Peru has levelled this charge at Chile - and it met the same response: categorical denial. The timing of the spying allegation is almost suspiciously good for Humala. At a time when his own government has been accused of ordering illegal spying on opposition politicians, and even dissident members of the ruling Gana Perú coalition, there is nothing quite like a serious matter of State involving Peru’s inveterate rivals to distract attention and to bring a snarling political opposition to heel, albeit temporarily.
