Protesters yell slogans against Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori while being pushed back by riot police outside the presidential palace in Lima, September 19, 2000. A scandal erupted last week when a video surfaced showing Montesinos, who has been the power behind President Alberto Fujimori for the last ten years, allegedly bribing an opposition congressman to switch sides. The ensuing scandal prompted Fujimori, who was elected in a tainted ballot in May, to call out for new elections and to assure that he did not plan to run again.
