Garcia set for unlikely return

Six months ago, Peru might have been in bad shape, but at least the future looked bright.

It had gone through an electoral crisis, with president Alberto Fujimori blatantly rigging his way to an unconstitutional third term, but Fujimori was then exiled in Japan, and the prospects for free and fair elections in April seemed good. Now Peru looks in worse shape than ever.

There’s now a strong possibility that the next president is going be Alan Garcia.
