In another blow to the left and to the revolution inspired
by Venezuela ’s
Socialist dictatorship, a center-right candidate was elected President of Peru
earlier this month, ousting the leftist ruling party, whose candidate did not
even make it to the run-off election, as the second-round was a contest between
two conservative candidates.
The
leftists had earlier also lost their majority in the Peruvian congressional
elections, with the main conservative party winning a majority and the
center-right party of the incoming President tying for the second most seats in
Peru’s Congress.
As I have posted,
the leftists lost the Argentine presidential election last year, Bolivians
rejected a referendum for a constitutional amendment to end term limits to
allow their leftist President to continue to serve and the democratic center-right
opposition won a supermajority in the Venezuelan congressional elections. These results, together with those in Peru , clearly demonstrate a reversal of the
prior trend towards the Left, socialism, authoritarianism and opposition to the
United States of America .
I
congratulate the Peruvians. May the new
Peruvian President succeed in defending liberty and in increasing prosperity
while establishing good relations with the U.S.
