Saturday November 5, 2011, marked the first hundred days of the government of Ollanta Humala. Beyond his accomplishments and mistakes, that can be easily spotted, the comparison to be made is the change in presidential style, from a president like Alan García – fully media-oriented and with an almost permanent presence on newspapers and television – to Ollanta Humana who's hardly prone to declare anything on the media. Several outlets have aired special reports of these first hundred days. The newspaper El Comercio has published several pieces [es] on the matter, ranging from an infographic [es] showing the highs and lows to a small analysis [es] of the behavior of the closest circle to the presidency. The journal La Republica also has articles in their special edition [es] that analyze [es] the transformation of Ollanta Humala in the past 100 days and features an interview [es] with political analyst Nelson Manrique, where he asks himself what happened to all the people that said they'd leave the country if Humala won.

On Twitter, the hashtag #100diashumala was created, and even though the issue hasn't raised much enthusiasm on blogs, other than republishing articles and opinion columns of traditional media, some interesting posts can be found. On the blog La Escena Contemporanea (Contemporary Scene), blogger, Eduardo Jimenez, points out one of the most relevant developments of the electoral campaign when he tries to [es] sum up what's happened: Para la evaluación se puede tomar como parámetros de referencia lo que prometió en campaña o lo declarado en el plan de gobierno, a fin de contrastar lo dicho con lo que está haciendo, lo que falta por hacer o los necesarios cambios en el camino. El primer inconveniente es qué plan de gobierno contrastamos, si “la gran trasformación”, furibundamente estatista, o la más flexible “hoja de ruta”, aparecida cuando el candidato Humala pasa a la segunda vuelta. Evidentemente que es la hoja de ruta el instrumento eje que delimita actualmente la política del gobierno. For the evaluation anyone can take as reference parameters everything which was promised on the campaign or declared as the government plan so we can contrast what was said to what is being done, what is missing, and the necessary shifts to be made. The first drawback is which government plan we should contrast, if “the great transformation”, fiercely statist, or the more flexible “route sheet”, axis instrument that sets the tone of the current government policies. Journalist Jaime del Castillo doesn't hide his disappointment on the politics shown by the government and expressed [es] his views on his blog: Consideramos que el presente gobierno de turno encaja exactamente en lo que negó y rechazó y recusó el pueblo mayoritariamente electoral el 05 de junio: Continuismo ¿Es o no es continuismo (y de la peor laya) habernos estafado con tanto avivato e impresentable y delincuente y deshonesto y un largo etcétera en negativo y en hediondo en cuanto a Parlamentarios de ‘Gana Perú’?, ¿’Honestidad para el Gran Cambio’? … ¿Es o no es continuismo: Dejar hacer y dejar pasar al más puro estilo liberal de todos los siglos con respecto a Grupos de poder económico-financiero que dominan al Perúhace décadas: Mineras, Telefónica del Perú, etc., etc.? ¿Es o no es continuismo: Que la PRENSA GRANDE haga lo que se le dé la gana embruteciendo al pueblo peruano y marcando su agenda comercial, política y económica antes que el interés público o de las grandes mayorías que pidieron y exigieron CAMBIO el 05 de junio del 2011? We consider that the current government is doing exactly what it denied and rejected and challenged the people who voted as a majority on June 5th: Continuity.
