Former U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs, Roger Noriega, urged Peruvians to vote for right-wing presidential candidate Keiko Fujimori in order “to prevent Peru to change its democratic course,” reported RPP news service.

Noriega, a die-hard Republican who was part of George W. Bush’s cabinet between 2003 and 2005, said that nationalist candidate Ollanta Humala is a “pro-coup military officer.”

According to Noriega, with Fujimori, “Peruvian people will not need to worry because she has not given signs of wanting to go against democracy and institutionalism.”

If Ollanta Humala is elected president on June 5, Peru will undergo political and economic changes, assured Noriega.

“Humala can be the most radical of all (…) so do not fall in the Castro-Chavez scam named Humala,” said Noriega at an event that took place in Miami.

Currently a visiting fellow at the right-wing think tank American Enterprise Institute, Noriega said that Humala “is the only candidate that has tried to hide his past and the only one that has sold his loyalty to an international conspiracy leaded by Hugo Chávez.”

In a press conference called forth by the former congressman Lincoln Diaz Balart in Miami, several Latin American political organizations alert Peru of the dangers of Ollanta Humala’s run for presidency.

The organizations present were Mothers and Women against Repression in Cuba (Mar por Cuba,) Antidote for the XXI Century Socialism, representing Venezuela, and Force 2011, Keiko Fujimori’s party. Former Ambassador Roger Noriega, as well as former U.S. Representative Lincoln Diaz Balart, was present.

“I am here because I believe that democracy is endangered in Peru,” said Noriega, former Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs. “Peruvian voters are facing a very difficult choice in the second round of presidential elections. According to recent polls, 20% of the voters have expressed their intention to emit a blank ballot, while 10% say that they could change their mind in the coming weeks. This is why we have taken the extraordinary measure of offering our personal opinion regarding this country’s internal affairs,” continued Noriega.

Sylvia G. Iriondo, director of the organization Mothers and Women against Repression in Cuba (Mar por Cuba), said that “it is crucially important that every Peruvian notices what is at stake, in order to be able to preserve the values and commonwealth principles of the Peruvian nation.”

1. I think this will win Humala votes among the the poor and the Indigenous

some percentage of which may be withholding judgement (as to opinion polls) because Humala has gone "centrist." The poor and the Indigenous were the voters who gave him a 15 point bump in the last presidential election, after Chavez and--probably more important--Morales endorsed him. No other place those votes could have come from.

I think that may be what's going on with this weird situation, with a far rightwinger who's former dictator daddy is in jail for mass murders and who engaged in forced sterilization of thousands of Indigenous, apparently pulling half the voters at this point. It doesn't make sense. Either some of Humala's supporters are sitting on their hands (when the pollsters come calling)--for the very reason that he has sought to "distance" himself from the regional left-- or the polls are fiddled and fraudulent (a possibility).

Anyway, the Miami mafia getting into it should help Humala.

2. They would have to be idiots to believe a word uttered by this radical right-winger loon,

who worked as an aide to virulent racist Jesse Helms at one time.

What are they doing in Miami, anyway? Did they "flee" from Alan Garcia? Maybe they were afraid he wanted to impregnate them, too.

I hope and pray Roger Noriega NEVER gets his pudgy, grimy little fingers back into business at the State Department. He is pure poison, with the heart of a fungus.

This putz couldn't care less about Peruvian people. He only cares about US control over the entire world, but most specifically over the Americas.

3. I totally agree with you.

Unfortunatley during the Univision broadcast last night, Noriega was given an interview with little fact-checking or opposing position from someone who might disagree with his assertions. There are 3 million Peuvians living outside of Peru with nearly a million living here. That is a lot of votes for a country of only around 29 million people. I fear many Peruvians will not understand who this guy is and take him at his word.

5. Right-wingers' specialty is a ferociously self-righteous public face, and a seething hatred

for anyone who doesn't support them, and put them first above everyone else as the rightful masters of the universe.

They do have to lie, cheat, steal and murder to keep this control over others. Without the media, and lies, without violence they couldn't pull it off. They have no natural attraction for human beings. Nothing to offer outside suffering for the poor majority, and violent control of them by the tyrannical, parasitic elites.
