"President Alan Garcia formally opened the monument, known as Cristo del Pacifico or Christ of the Pacific, on a hill in the capital Lima.
He personally helped fund the cost of the statue to the tune of around 100,000 Peruvian soles (£22,000) and has said it will `bless and protect Lima`."

As election results were tallied, Ollanta Humala was the reported winner with 52.6% of the vote. Humala is known as a left-wing nationalist that may bring the country the way of Hugo Chavez. The stock market in Peru collapsed 14% on these results as fears of nationalization spread quickly. Stocks all over the world with ties to Peru also collapsed. Precious metals miner Compania de Minas Buenaventura SA (NYSE:BVN) dropped from $42.00 to $35.75 and copper producer Southern Copper Corporation (NYSE:SCCO) fell 10% on this news.

"Modern Slavs, both Bulgarians and Macedonians, cannot establish a link with antiquity, as the Slavs entered the Balkans centuries after the demise of the ancient Macedonian kingdom. Only the most radical Slavic factions—mostly émigrés in the United States, Canada, and Australia—even attempt to establish a connection to antiquity... Eugene Borza, "Macedonia Redux", University of California Press, 1999. It is precisely in their attempt to create a non existing connection with antiquity that the pseudomakedonists reach the crescendo of their irrationality, achieving scholarly absurdity. It is in the prolific writings of the FYROM folk personality and "historian" ("I am highly educated historian and a writer from European country Republic of Macedonia") professor Aleksandar Donski that Skopje's pseudo-makedonist regime has found its purest celebrity propagandist. He is the author of, among many other books, "The Genealogical Lineage between Certain American Presidents and the Dynasty of Alexander the Great and Other Macedonian Dynasties". "The book [we are told] uncovers indisputable evidence and offers proof that no fewer than eleven U.S. presidents have been partially of ancient Macedonian ancestry: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe, William Taft, Grover Cleveland, Warren Harding, Franklin Roosevelt, Richard Nixon, George Herbert Walker Bush, and the current president George Walker Bush." While we try to hold our tears of excitement and jubilation back, having just been informed that George W. Bush is a blue-blooded descendant of the Makedonski dynasty of that fabled "Proto-Slavic" Czar Aleksandar Veliki (yes, they mean Alexander the Great!), we will instead concern ourselves here with the list of the ancient names that professor Aleksandar Donski considers to be Slavo-macedonian. Not that a list of fifty five names would prove anything about the ethnicity of any people, but since they are brought forward, we will study them in depth. We will expose each and every name on his "Macedonski" name list to be a naive attempt at Yugo-Slavic folk etymology at best, or a south Balkan nationalist propaganda fraud, emanating from Skopje, at worst. The Perustae were an Illyrian tribe completely unrelated to the ancient Macedonians. Their tribal name is most certainly Illyrian and its etymology unknown to us and for sure it is not derived from "perustija" which is in itself a Greek loanword (from Pyrostia: Pyr-Pyros+Estia)into the Slavomacedonian dialect of FYROM. The Name Perushka, which outwardly appears to mean "of feathers, feathery" is actually an ancient Slavonic name meaning the "First one, the Prime one", and connected linguistically to Perun, the prime Slavonic God. The connections Aleksandar Donski is attempting to make between the Illyrian tribal name Perustae, the Greek word Pyrostia and the Slavonic name Perushka, are ficticious, at best and none has anything to do with ancient Macedonia. His points are wholly and utterly unsupported, unhistorical and undocumented, like his government's assertions of a connection between the modern Slavomacedonians on the one hand and the Greek speaking ancient Macedonians on the other.
