WikiLeaks released audio recordings of Perupetro Vice President Alberto Quimper and Romulo León Alegría, a prominent member of Garcia’s ruling Aprista party, discussing under-the-table payments conditioned on Discover Petroleum obtaining oil exploration concessions. According to the recordings, Quimper, Leon and Ernesto Arias-Schreiber, the legal representative of Discover in Peru, were to receive $10,000 monthly in exchange for steering lucrative oil contracts to the Norwegian oil exploration firm. The scandal, dubbed “petrogate,” led the government to suspend five joint exploration and development contracts recently awarded to Discover Petroleum and state-owned oil company Petroperu. The minister of Energy and Mines, Juan Valdivia, immediately handed in his resignation and only days later, the whole cabinet and cabinet chief Jorge del Castillo resigned.

Immigration, race and the assimilation of France's large Muslim community have been prominent issues leading up to the election, even before the March shootings by an Islamic extremist in Toulouse and Montauban. Sarkozy has been tough on immigration. Last year, a law went into effect banning Islamic face coverings in public places, the so-called burqa ban. And in a recent television interview, Sarkozy said France has "too many foreigners" and that the country is not integrating them properly. Sarkozy won the 2007 election by taking a strong stance on race, according to political analyst Simon Persico from the Center of European Studies.

J’avais lu je ne sais plus où une histoire de politique-fiction qui m’avait paru de prime abord totalement farfelue : sommé par les Etats-Unis de rembourser ses dettes, le Mexique avait décidé en représailles de faire s’échouer délibérément un pétrolier sur les plages de Miami Beach et de Kokomo. Au même moment, la France envoyait sa marine intercepter quatre navires libyens animés des mêmes intentions et faisant route vers Saint-Tropez. Le naufrage du Prestige est-il un acte de guerre commis par la haute finance apatride ?

“Protest Action against Kony2012 propaganda. A museum in Stockholm is organizing an exhibition of pictures of the warlord Konys crimes right after Invisible Children, a pro-imperialist lobby group, launched its campaign Kony2012. We condemn Konys war crimes, but the world needs peace, not war. If we are talking about war criminals let’s talk about Obama: He has many more lives on his conscience than Kony.
