Some text about APRA removed from Víctor Raúl Haya de la Torre, slightly NPOV adjusted, and moved here, to be incorporated into the APRA article as appropriate:
Years later, the military government of General Juan Velasco Alvarado implemented some of his economic policies with disastrous results. By 1972, Velasco Alvarado managed to destroy Peru's anchovy fishing industry, which had once supplied a quarter of the world's fish flour. In 1985, APRA leader Alan Garcia was blamed for using similar policies which badly dammaged the economy.
[edit] POV
This article strikes me as having an anti-APRA POV. I don't have the knowledge to take on a rewrite, but someone should have a look at this. -- Jmabel | Talk 02:19, Dec 17, 2004 (UTC)
I do think this is to some extent true. I have tried to make it more neutral. Hasdrubal 19:38, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)
[edit] "Active provincial party"?
It's in the party template, yet sounds more suited to Canada then to Peru. 62.218.64.228 21:46, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Quote
This quote makes no sense:
- Oportunistic ideological swings to the right by Haya de la Torre in the 1950s, in exchange for attaining legal status for the party, resulted in an exodus of some of APRA's most talented young leaders to the Marxist left, including the Peruvian Communist Party founded by theorist José Carlos Mariátegui.
Mariategui died in 1930 and the Communist Party was founded in the late 20s but it seems to imply that Mariategui left the "APRA movement" (recall Mariategui regarded APRA as a movement not a party) in the 1950's as a result of Haya de la Torre's shift in policy. I eliminated that last part of the sentence because of this and am just adding this so that future editors of this page understand why I removed it.--Jersey Devil 09:13, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
- Mariategui was never a member of the APRA party. In fact, he is the founder of the Peruvian Socialist Party (wich, after his death, was renamed PCP or Peruvian Communist Party). It was a well known fact that Mariategui and Haya de la Torre were political enemies due to the differents approachs that both had about how to reform the country: Revolution or Cooperation.

Well, from what I've read of Mariategui he did consider himself at one time part of the "APRA movement" but once Haya de la Torre broke with that concept and made it a "party" he broke away from it. Anyway, we should talk about the new "modern" Puffy "vote or die" attitude that APRA is trying to have to win youth votes in the next election. They even modified their logo into a star with glasses and Garcia has been going around dancing reggaeton. It is all pretty silly. [1]--Jersey Devil 22:33, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
