Perhaps a few words about human-rights violations during his second term are in order?Hasdrubal 19:38, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

What is the correct sequence of events?
Was Belaúnde eligible for a second term?
It is better not to translated names like this unless anestablished English translation is known. I prefer a formulation such as: "...theCarretera Marginal de la Selva, a much-needed highway..."
If I am not mistaken (check!), Haya de la Torre won a narrow plurality of the votes; it was up to Congress to decide who the winner would be -since APRA was then in cahoots with the Odriistas, Haya de la Torre would have been likely to become the next president (though this is not certain).The army leaders were not too glad about this - hence the coup.
Perez Godoy was just a provisional president, and not even a very prominent political figure, no?
Belaunde was not eligible for a second term. His party's candidate was defeated - getting only 6% or 7% of the vote, if I remember correctly.
Agreed on the Carretera Marginal.Hasdrubal 18:33, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
On Belaunde's coming to power: if my memory serves me right, neither the current version nor Messhermit's version is quite accurate. If any fraudat all occured in the 1962 elections, it is highly unlikely to have been committed in the APRA's favour; the APRA was allied by then to the Odriistas,but not to Prado, even though it had found some sort of modus vivendi. The coup was an illegal action perpretated by the military. Then there wasa time of uncertainty for a year or two, with Ricardo Godoy acting as the figurehead for most of it; it may be that, as Messhermit says, he wasnot content with being such a figurehead. Eventually, elections were called again, and Belaunde won them (with a narrow plurality, just as Hayade la Torre did before; perhaps it is worth looking into which one of the two, if either, won more than 33%, and whether this mattered accordingto the constitution then in operation).
The summary at the top of the page seems fair to me: a president's failures are as important as his successes. The section on the 1962-1963 needsfixing (as by the above; I am writing from memory - the editing should preferrably be done by somebody who has good sources at hand).Hasdrubal 21:23, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Those were the main topic of disscussion I believe. I will research more in order to provide accurate information for the Former President Article.Messhermit 00:21, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
I forgot to ask this in my comment above.
What does this mean? As I understand it, Velasco starting breaking up the biglatifundios, like the sugar plantations around Trujillo. Did Belaúnde reverse these nationalizations or merely put a stop to the program? --Viajero 22:33, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
I think he just put a stop to the program (though there weren't many latifundios left to nationalize...), and may have to some extent cut the subsidized loans, organizational assistance, etc., that the state provided before.Hasdrubal 22:52, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
The image that appears above his terms of office is too large and distorted. There was another image, Image:Belaunde_Terry.jpg, which seems good, too, but if enlarged will look blurry also. Maybe someone else can find a better image to show right when the article appears? I initially wanted to use the Time Magazine cover I found, but was barely learning about copyright issues and hesitated to include the whole cover image on this article as it is showing now. --Dynamax 23:57, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Searching around the web, I noticed two sites (one of them the bbc which I hadn't notice) that says Fernando Belaúnde Terry was born in Arequipahttp://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/2025896.stm andhttp://www.cidob.org/bios/castellano/lideres/b-058.htm (in Spanish). I'm in doubt now, where was Belaúnde Terry born?--Dynamax 22:44, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
It's actually Belaunde without the accent mark. Could someone please move the page accordingly? --Victor1216:09, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Belaúnde's article in Spanish WP talks a lot more about the Shining Path, "el problema más grave" for his government. It discusses the massacres atUcchuracay – nine journalists killed by locals who mistook them for militants – and atPutis – nearly 200 civilians, those imitation militants again, killed by an army unit followed by a big cover-up.

I saw a documentaryWorld’s Most Dangerous Roads where two guys drive into the centre of Peru to see the site of a capital that was never built.
“At the end of this epic journey they hope to find the lost city of Constitucion”http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0153h6s/
Fernando Belaúnde was planning a new capital in the middle of the jungle.
There’s no information about this in Wiki. Would anyone know further about this subject?
