So I forgot that I was going to post this...

...It's a flyer for a political candidate for the provincial government. The man's name is Alfredo Alvarez Diaz, A Firm Hand for Arequipa. On the back it outlines his platform:

Security: 0 tolerance for delinquents, have complete security

Services: Total reduction of all municipal taxes - predial (didn't translate, not in my dictionary), rates and licenses. So that the municipalities serve the town administration.

Administration: Modernization and simplification of all administrative procedures; the technology already exists.

Austerity: reduction of pays, as much for the mayor as the regidores (didn't translate). This will make civil employees serve us, not us serve them.

Us: Respect and implement the director plan, created and approved in 2002


I have a picture of his flyer that I'll post at some point. I plan on getting my pics put on CD when I get back from the canyon. Now we know what a conservative Peruvian politician stumps for. Kind of the same stuff they all stump for.
