Military Rule In Peru Sets A Fast Pace
A year of military rule in Peru has sparked debate over its direction with supporters praising reforms and national pride while critics warn of a drift toward leftist or communist influence. The Velasco government touts anti corruption moves and agrarian reform, yet analysts note left-leaning officers and relations with Eastern bloc nations. Economically, devaluation and policy shifts aimed at exports and reduced spending have not yet built investor confidence, with a reported billion dollar cost and disputes over expropriation tactics.
