Peruvian President Ollanta Humala is ending his first year in office much less popular than when he was elected in 2011 and facing increasing pressure due to growing conflicts between mining companies and indigenous people. Humala recently replaced cabinet ministers most closely affiliated with failed mining efforts in an effort to regain public backing. However, there is trouble ahead, with Humala likely to have continued difficulty balancing the interests of the mining sector against those of the Indians.
