PERU: Chehade resists pressure to resign
President Ollanta Humala reached the important milestone of 100 days in office with one of the highest approval ratings for a head of state in Peru in recent history. When even the president of the umbrella business group Confiep, Humberto Speziani, described Humala’s start as “definitively positive”, it should have been cause for celebration. Instead, Humala was forced to grapple with the increasingly damaging influence-peddling allegations against his second Vice-President Omar Chehade. He did his best to distance himself from Chehade by calling on him to “step aside” - but Chehade is refusing to go quietly.
