 APRA dominated Peruvian politics for decades as the singular well-organized political party in Peru not centered on one person.To some APRA or "Aprismo" in its pure form stood for the nationalization of foreign-owned enterprises and an end to the exploitation of the indigenous peoples.To others it was about the combining of modern economics and technology with the historical traditions of the countryside and indigenous populations to create a new and unique model for social and economic development.
