Peruvian officials are concerned about the work of nonprofit groups in their country, according to an opinion article in The Wall Street Journal.
Mary Anastasia O’Grady, a Journal columnist, writes that American nonprofit organizations have given money to human-rights groups linked to leftist guerrillas and that Álan Garcia, president of Peru, told her that “anticapitalism” charities — or nongovernmental groups — supported by foreign funds are blocking economic development in Peru.
“No wonder the term NGO has become a dirty word in Peru,” she writes.
