...Those fears of Humala, who came in first in the initial voting on April 9 after having only polled in the single digits last year, stem from his complicated, controversial background. His father is the founder of an ultranationalist, neo-Marxist movement that preaches the superiority of indigenous Peruvians over the country's descendants of the Spanish and promotes violence against those lighter-skinned elite. His mother has railed against homosexuality, while his young brother is in prison for leading an army reservists' attack on a police station last year that killed four officers...
...critics on both the left and the right still don't entirely trust him. Unlike other like-minded leftist politicians in South America, Hugo Chavez in Venezuela and recently elected Evo Morales in Bolivia, Humala doesn't come from humble beginnings. His father, who is the founder of an ultranationalist, neo-Marxist movement that preaches the superiority of indigenous Indian Peruvians over the country's descendants of the Spanish and promotes violence against those lighter-skinned elite, raised his children with dreams of some day taking power...
...would help stabilize Serbia's fragile government. But the charges and countercharges over Djindjic's murder overshadowed the campaign. One candidate accused Djindjic's former ministers of being "accomplices" in the killing, a charge they hotly denied. Last week, in the first round of voting, the candidate for the ultranationalist Serbian Radical Party, Tomislav Nikolic, won. Next week he heads into a runoff against a Djindjic ally, Boris Tadic. "This is not politics anymore," said Stojan Cerovic, of the Belgrade weekly Vreme. "It's madness." Serbia looked saner last year when, in the aftermath of the assassination, the government imposed...
...influence on government policy, but what many regard as an unholy alliance is prompting fears that Serbia is lapsing into its bad old nationalistic habits. Kostunica's Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS) forged the deal with Milosevic's SPS after December parliamentary polls produced an inconclusive result. The ultranationalist Serbian Radical Party, led by Milosevic's longtime ally and fellow Hague indictee Vojislav Seselj, emerged as the largest single party, with 82 of the 250 seats in the Serbian parliament. That's not nearly enough to form a government, but with 53 seats the dss was far short...
...Extreme SERBIA The ultranationalist Serbian Radical Party, led by former paramilitary and indicted war criminal Vojislav Seselj, won 82 seats in parliamentary elections - more than any other political party. The vote - the first since Slobodan Milosevic's party was thrown out of power three years ago - also saw the ex-strongman's own Socialist Party of Serbia just meet the threshold to return to parliament. Seselj's party advocates returning Serbian troops to Kosovo, downgrading ties with the U.S. and Europe, and suing NATO for reparations for the U.S.-led bombing of Belgrade in 1999. The Radicals failed...
