	Alejandro Toledo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Toledo was one of sixteen children of a family of indigenous Amerindian campesinos in the town of Cabana, province of Pallasca, Ancash region.
		Toledo refused to participate on a second round against Fujimori (since none of them received at least 50% of the vote) and unsuccessfully petitioned to have the election annulled [2].
		Toledo then further deepened the scandal by stating, in a press conference, that it was he who ordered his Cabinet to present their resignations, in clear opposition to the law.

	Harvard Gazette: Peruvian President Toledo touts his record
		Peruvian President Alejandro Toledo warned April 12 that poverty is the enemy of democracy in Latin America and said that despite Perus recent economic gains, he did not do enough to improve the lot of Perus poor during his five-year term.
		Toledo, who was a fellow at the now-defunct Harvard Institute for International Development in the early 1990s, gave himself high marks for respect for democratic principles, such as freedom of the press, and for putting Peru's economic house in order.
		Toledo said that after the abuses of his predecessor, Alberto Fujimori, the fact that Peru's April 9 election was held fairly means that there has already been a winner in the Peruvian election: democracy.

	Peru's Alejandro Toledo Spectrezine
		On the one hand, in a country where 82% of the population is either indigenous or of mixed descent, Toledo, a former shoeshine boy nicknamed the “cholo,” would seem to represent an irresistible rags to riches story, spot-lighting being only the country’s first president to share the heritage of its ethnic majority.
		Toledo’s administration stepped into rocky relations with Washington, which had ordered a total review of Peru’s drug program after a plane carrying US missionaries was mistakenly shot down in April of 2001.
		Toledo has given concessions to the coca growers out of a fear of their armed self-defense groups, which were first formed in the desperate days of the violent struggle against the Shining Path.

	Welcome Mr. Peruvian President Alejandro Toledo
		Toledo’s five year-term as leader of the Andean country will leave very little to be remembered in its wake, and the talks can be summarized as an opportunity for Bush to briefly thank Toledo for a job well done.
		Toledo’s wife, Eliane Karp, known as “Madame Karp” in Peru, will accompany her husband, which, given her reputation as a stylish dresser, should provide her with a good opportunity to do some shopping in downtown D.C.’s more expensive boutiques, while her husband speaks of poverty abatement to Bush – another acolyte on that subject.
		Toledo thus earned a reputation for indolence and indifference to issues, including not adequately reviewing the nagging Lori Berenson case (a young American woman who is presently in jail serving a 20 year term for being a sympathizer of the Tupac Amaru guerrilla movement in Peru).

	CNN.com - Profile: Alejandro Toledo - June 4, 2001
		Alejandro Toledo calls himself "a statistical fluke" -- a Peruvian of Indian descent who rose from acute poverty in a remote Andean village to obtain master's and doctoral degrees from Stanford University and, more astonishingly, to a valid attempt to govern a country traditionally ruled by a white minority.
		Toledo's strongest appeal during the campaign was among Peru's poor mestizo Indian population, a group that nicknamed him "Pachacuti" -- which means "cataclysm" or "destroyer" and was the name chosen by the Inca ruler Yupanqui who expanded and unified the Inca empire with numerous conquests.
		Toledo's main campaign promise was to provide desperately needed jobs for Peruvians plagued by economic recession and widespread disenchantment with politicians.
