Ollanta Humala, a President for a new Peruvian economic model?

This Sunday, June 5, 2011, the nationalist candidate of the Gana Peru party beat his rival Keiko Fujimori in the Peruvian presidential race. With more than 51% votes in this majority vote, Humala, a former soldier, therefore triumphed at the end of an excessively polarized campaign which risks leaving traces within the population. The next day, the Spanish daily El País eloquently headlined: "memory prevailed in the face of fear", thus referring to the population's rejection of seeing the country led by the daughter of former president Fujimori and this despite the fear aroused by Humala and his anti-capitalist speech.
