...Haya de la Torre. The other junta members, more responsive to the sentiments of old-line army men who remember bloody clashes with the Apristas in the 19305, were not so sure. But Peruvians outside the barracks, particularly Haya's main rivals-nationalistic Architect Fernando Belaúnde Terry and ex-Army Strongman Manuel Odria-insisted that the promised elections be held.
