Ulises Humala

Like his brother Ollanta, Ulises Humala considers himself to be a nationalist. However, he claims to be less radical. He also considers the current 1993 constitution, produced in the "Democratic Constitutional Congress" after Alberto Fujimori's self-coup and during the Peruvian Constitutional Crisis of 1992, to be illegal.

One of his other brothers, Antauro Humala, is currently in prison for leading a failed military rebellion.[3] The other brother, Ollanta Humala, served as the 65th President of Peru.
