In the midst of national elections that will bring in a new government, the outgoing Peruvian government has signed a controversial trade agreement with the United States. In Lima Tuesday, leading presidential candidate Ollanta Humala criticized Peruvian President Alejandro Toledo for signing the deal. “We consider Mr. Alejandro Toledo to be using what is legal but not legitimate because it is authoritarian, pretending to visit to witness the singing of the trade agreement. It is not that we are against it,” Humala said. “We are in favor of a trade agreement with the United States and other countries. What we consider to have happened is that this trade agreement has been poorly negotiated.” Humala isn’t the only current presidential candidate to oppose the deal. Former President Alan Garcia, who is in a tight battle to see who will face Humala in a run-off vote, has also come out against the trade pact.
