Humala for Latin America Power
Bloc
Sure of winning elections on
Sunday, Union por el Peru (UPP)
presidential hopeful, Ollanta
Humala, has pleaded for Latin
American integration.
"Our goal is to consolidate the
Andean Community of Nations
(CAN) as a body from which we
will negotiate free trade
agreements with the European
Union and the US," Humala told
Prensa Latina during a press
conference with foreign media.
"The most logical thing is that,
as a bloc, we try to sign free
trade agreements with powerful
countries," said Humala while
expressing his hope for
Venezuela returning to CAN.
He accused his rival of Aprista
Party (APRA), Alan Garcia, and
supporters of having forced
Caracas to quit the group
founded in 1969 to support
regional unity.
In reference to attacks against
his candidacy, Humala said he
was not in favor of violent
solutions to Peruvian problems,
and stressed that even if he
does not come put as a winner on
Sunday, he will continue joining
forces to change the country for
the better.
