In Much of the dilemma we face in this second round - or Humala or Dynasty Fujimori - can be described in terms of a conflict between different arguments about possible futures for the country, but also a conflict between decisions passion, which are brought into play two emotions clearly based on thoughts, beliefs and judgments, two emotions most relevant to politics. On the one hand, the fear ; the other, the shame . There are other emotions at play, no doubt, but these are particularly emblematic in these circumstances. Indeed, we fear that Ollanta Humala is using to call an important group of professionals to improve their plan of government and form a government of consensus with the real purpose of winning elections and then ignore that team and return to his program "harder." Those fears have an important place in our political debate; from reasonable doubt that inspires in us the candidate, its history, its old ties with Venezuela. Mario Vargas Llosa has said the vote for Humala from the democratic forces can not be a blank check, that citizens must be willing to leave the public space to denounce any form of violation of democratic rules. We in the trance deciding vote in that direction - not without concern and discomfort (1) - must be willing to assume the responsibility that comes with this decision and take to the streets if negates the rule of law.
At the other extreme, the Fujimori regime and its dismal record regarding the violation of law, human rights and the various cases of corruption, we thrill of shame as dominant ethic. Clearly intuit - thanks to the facts, the grim recent history of Peru - which would allow you to start taking the reins of government political group in the management of which predated state coffers, concentrated the powers and established a system of control over the media, became the destruction of public ethics in a system and a way of life, a system was strengthened through patronage, purchase of consciousness and extortion. On all these events we have evidence, and the two leaders of this criminal device - Alberto Fujimori and Vladimiro Montesinos - has been convicted and imprisoned. There is no reason to say with certainty that the new candidate has departed Fujimori really this evil legacy. Their political environment and their spokesmen (Martha Chavez, Luz Salgado, Jorge Trelles etc.) from the quarries of the authoritarian regime of his father, she has repeated on numerous occasions that the government of Alberto Fujimori has been "the best in the history of Peru, and has spoken in favor of a pardon that favor. His recent efforts to distance themselves from parental government and ask for forgiveness are shown as apparent electoral strategies. Do not believe him. Finally, the Fujimori is revamping only minimally their senior political cadres (for example, with the addition of Rafael Rey on presidential plate, and know their views on issues of justice and human rights).
recently Jaime Bayly and Aldo Mariátegui have struggled to establish a boundary between the profile of Keiko Fujimori and his father. Seek to persuade us that his government would not be a continuation of the management of his father, that his candidacy would not be a "Trojan horse" of a mob which would attempt to return to power. However, as rightly argued Gustavo Faverón , the problem of Fuerza 2011 candidate is not their genetic heritage, but its political line . Bayly and Mariátegui would have us believe, among other things, that those who govern are only individuals, which is glaringly false. The "distinction" between Fujimori and Montesinos already sounded between twisted and laughable, in the strict case of the prisoner's daughter Diroes the distinction is strange and sudden, as she has based much of his campaign in the legacy of his father (starting with the last name). Any fair delimitation would take a completely different political environment, develop a program with a different orientation (for in issues of democratic institutions and human rights is a nullity ) and assume a take away clear, transparent and truly really timely - specifying mistakes and crimes, and noting the degree of responsibility of those involved in them - and not the last game of masks time, with terse statements and smiles for the cameras, having the added indulgence of journalists. The public will have to decide very soon what weighs more on his mind, the prospect somewhat opaque to maintain current economic model, or staring in a matter of national dignity, close the doors to those who in one way or another ruled the country and plunged into the gray swamp of authoritarianism and corruption.

Updated: CCN Keiko and the case (JA Godoy).
Hernan Carlos Raffo Migoya: "confided that, although never admit it in an interview, the first thing his party Fuerza 2011 will come to power in this election is, of course! , release from prison the sentenced Alberto Fujimori, either way. " (04/05/2011).
Where are the "oaths" Keiko Fujimori?
(1) And not cancel the vote, which was my original impetus to such undesirable dilemma.
