Description | Left-wing nationalist party founded by Javier Pérez de Cuéllar, former Secretary General of the United Nations. Party was originally launched as a political vehicle for de Cuéllar's presidential ambitions in 1995, later turning into a major base for Ethnocacerism (support for establishing in Peru a proletarian dictatorship led by indigenous communities) when Army Major Antauro Humala (jailed 2005 coup leader and brother of ex president Ollanta Humala) took control of the party from prison in the 2010s. Party allied itself with the presidential candidate for Free Peru (Perú Libre), Pedro Castillo, conditioned on his pardoning Humala [Unión por el Perú (UPP)]. |
