Apristas

Apristas refers to members and supporters of the American Popular Revolutionary Alliance, commonly known as APRA. APRA is a political party in Peru, founded in 1930 by Víctor Raúl Haya de la Torre. The party's ideology has evolved over time, but it is generally characterized by a blend of socialism, nationalism, and anti-imperialism. APRA was one of the most influential political forces in Peru for much of the 20th century, often playing a significant role in government and opposition.

Historically, Apristas have advocated for social justice, economic redistribution, and national sovereignty. The party's base of support has traditionally been drawn from urban working classes, intellectuals, and rural populations. APRA has experienced periods of both great success and significant controversy throughout its history, including periods of government rule and internal divisions. The term "Aprista" carries with it a long and complex political legacy within Peru, encompassing a wide range of political ideas and historical events.
