Peruvian Nationalist Party
[5] Initially perceived as a full-fledged socialist government inspired by the Venezuelan Chavismo, Humala's presidency ultimately embraced free-market policies, although not at the same rhythm as previous administrations.Interpreting his sudden change as a betrayal to his voters, the Nationalist congressional caucus was reduced from 47 seats to 26, as most members rejected the government's inaction in fulfilling Humala's campaign initiatives.In addition, First Lady Nadine Heredia sought to be a controversial figure for the administration by indirectly taking a more active role in her husband's work, ultimately being seen as a dual presidency.Pundits agree on qualifying Humala's Nationalist presidency as mediocre, as no substantial changes were made in both economic and social aspects of Peru.[12][13][14] The PNP is a party strictly centralized in the figure of Ollanta Humala, but it had a strong ideological influence from the thought of José Carlos Mariátegui, Víctor Haya de la Torre and even Juan Velasco Alvarado.
