Government Calls for Return to ‘Cordiality’

President Alberto Fujimori’s government called for a return to “cordiality” in relations with the opposition, softening earlier warnings that adversaries would be punished for deadly riots on Fujimori’s inauguration day. Pro-government television ran programs all weekend slamming the opposition as terrorists after riots Friday in which six people were killed, dozens were injured and several government buildings were set ablaze. Tens of thousands of people marched during Fujimori’s swearing-in ceremony to protest what they called his fraudulent reelection May 28 to an unprecedented third five-year term as Peru’s president.
