I would highly recommend to read this reddit comment. http://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/1iiz9x/peru_to_provide_free_solar_power_to_its_2_million/cb52c6d http://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/1iiz9x/peru_to_pr... As it seems a lot of pro-peru-government PR is done currently to mask actual political activities. Right now in Perú we have some serious problems with the government. Today the congress elected members of political parties that even belong to the ruling party ("Gana Perú") as leaders of autonomous branches of the government ("tribunal constitucional", "banco central de reserva" y "defensoría del pueblo"). This is really bad, because the heads of organizations that are meant to protect the people from actions of the government and to make the government respect our constitution now belong to political parties. This means: members of the government, ruling party and allies taking control over the mechanisms that were originally meant to control them, and make sure they are working for the people. Now this institutions won't behave the way they should. We currently have protests in the central area of Lima near the congress and the "palacio de gobierno" (the residence of the president). Television has all the day covered the story of a peripheral fire as if it was the main thing happening. And reddit, you should know that the main thing in Perú right now aren't the solar panels. If you want to know something about Perú right know: we are unhappy and angry with our government and our inefficient political class. We are tired that they work for their own profit and not for the people. We are tired of corruption.

I'm an upper white class peruvian living in NA, and my contribution is going to be to say that people in the capital just want business business business. The city is flush with money because of foreign investment, and absolutely any threat to the country's marketability, such as labor rights or environmental concerns or opposition to american foreign policy, is aggressively denounced by laborers on every forum they can find. The government got to power on a massive wave of pro-social inclusion, anti-plutocrat sentiment, and the president turned out to be very meek in that regard, and his activist wife is now the focus of endless back and forth in the media spotlight. I would take anything you hear about Peru's current political class with a grain of salt, we're suffering from libertarian fever a bit. spot on reply by brazilian redditor: http://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/1iiz9x/peru_to_provide_free_solar_power_to_its_2_million/cb56kou http://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/1iiz9x/peru_to_pr...
