"Hey! There's a poor country! I think I'll rob it blind!" - Fujimori

Peru as a Soap Opera

Racial minority President, Alberto Fujimori (Japanese descent), was elected in 1990. (Hoorah for diversity!) The beginning of his presidency saw a betterment of the economy and a curb to the then common guerilla insurgences. At the time, Peru glanced over a horizon where economic and political stability could be seen as a coming event.

In Fujimori’s third term as president however, he was found to be illegally liberating the optimistic Peruvian peoples earnings from the country’s banks. (Boo for thievery!)

Currently, Fujimori is enjoying political asylum on his large, poor-Peruvian funded, estate in Japan. Now-President Alejandro Toledo is under domestic and international pressure to clean up Peru’s seemingly status-quo political corruption.
