Tractors for votes in Peru

IN ALMOST a decade as Peru's president, Alberto Fujimori has been a political autocrat and an economic free-marketeer. But recently, after several years of fast growth, Peru's economy, like those of many of its neighbours, has stalled. That is awkward for Mr Fujimori: a presidential election is due in April. He will not declare his intentions until later this month, but he is expected to run, and probably to win.
