Lourdes has prepared herself for a long time to become president of Peru. On the contrary, her first opponent, Nationalist leader Ollanta Humala, has an unknown plan so far but is increasing in the polls. He is capturing the attention of Peruvians tired of seeing the same politicians moving from one party to another, for convenience, to survive in power. "I cannot deny
that there is in the citizenship an outcry for change and I believe that my position as a woman ... represents that change," she said.
Her government plan takes in consideration economic, social, institutional, production and infrastructure aspects.
"I will concentrate on working to assure that my social proposal is the best one, because we will be a government who will give a frontal attack against poverty," she said.
The election will take place in early April 2006. About 29 million Peruvians will vote to decide their leader for the next five years. |
