In a conversation with journalists, after a ceremony at the monument of the founder of the APRA party, Víctor Raúl Haya de la Torre, Peru's Premier expressed his thoughts about the behavior of Bolivia's President Evo Morales. The ceremony was held in the district of Cercado de Lima in commemoration of APRA's founder.

Peru's Prime Minister Jorge del Castillo, stated that Evo Morales put his manners aside when deciding to criticize Peru's economic policies during his visit to Peru.

"I think Mr. Morales has lost a little courtesy. When a person is a guest in a country, they should rise to the occasion," said an obviously perturbed del Castillo.

In a speech given to union leaders, representatives and members in the district of Villa El Salvador, Bolivia's president Evo Morales criticized Peru's economic policies and asked unions to stick together and fight the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with the U.S.

Morales congratulated all those who have made an effort to establish and carry out the ALBA project in Peru, stating that the plan Hugo Chavez had created was an excellent alternative for countries in the Americas.
