  CNN.com - Garcia declares comeback win in Peru - Jun 5, 2006
Despite Garcia's claim of victory, many of the outstanding ballots were from rural areas where Humala is thought to have strong support.
Garcia, a socialist, led Peru from 1985 to 1990, when inflation that exceeded 7,500 percent per year ravaged the country's economy and the Maoist "Shining Path" guerrilla movement gained in influence.
Garcia, 57, turned the race into a referendum on the Chavez factor, depicting Humala as an aspiring despot who would fall into lockstep with the Venezuelan's populist economics and Cuba-friendly anti-Americanism.

 Alan Garcia Nunca Más... No más

Alan García’s second term as Peru’s president commenced in a far more tranquil time for him and the country than in 1985.

 Harvard International Review Blog » The Rare Second Chance of Alan Garcia
Serving as president from 1985 to 1990, Garcia managed to increase inflation by more than 7,000 percent, dramatically increase the number of Peruvians living under poverty levels, wreck the banking sector with an attempt to nationalize it, and stir the Shining Path insurgency.
It seems that it may have been a combination of memory loss on the part of those Peruvians who had to suffer through Garcia’s first term and the strong resistance to a candidate so closely linked to a powerful pseudo-dictator—I like to think that it is more of the latter.
Garcia inherits a much healthier economy from President Toledo than he left in 1990, and it seems that he has studied economics during his 16 year hiatus: Garcia has abandoned the reckless spending and populist policies of his past in favor of policies that promise fiscal prudence and increased foreign investment.

LIMA, Apr 17 (IPS) - Former Peruvian president Alan García is experiencing one of the most spectacular political resurrections in the history of Latin America, after heading a government from 1985 to 1990 that was severely criticised for hyperinflation and soaring unemployment and extreme poverty.
Since the elections on Apr. 9, Palm Sunday, the social democratic candidate has come closer and closer to the likelihood that he will face off with the winning candidate - retired army colonel Ollanta Humala - in the presidential runoff election in late May or early June.
