PERU: Humala overshadows presidential ‘debate’
The five principal contenders in next April’s presidential elections presented campaign proposals this week during the 2015 annual conference of executives (Cade) in Paracas, Ica region. They were also grilled by the media. None of the candidates managed to lay down an early marker. Instead, President Ollanta Humala stole the show when he arrived to deliver the closing speech at the economic forum on 4 December, and subsequently declared a state of emergency in the port city of Callao, at once highlighting the public security problem that tops the list of public concerns in Peru heading into the general elections.
