Alan Gabriel Ludwig García Pérez (Spanish pronunciation: ['ala? gaß'?jel luð'wi? ga?'si.a 'pe?es]; 23 May 1949 – 17 April 2019) was a Peruvian politician who served as President of Peru from 1985 to 1990 and again from 2006 to 2011.
He was the second leader of the Peruvian Aprista Party and the only party member ever to have served as President.His first presidential term was marked by a severe economic crisis, social unrest and violence.
He ran unsuccessfully for the presidency in 2001, losing in a run-off to Alejandro Toledo.
In 2006, he was elected to the presidency for a second term.
During García's second term, due to the increase in global metal prices, Peru experienced a steady economy, though his tenure also saw increased social conflict regarding indigenous rights and corruption.On 17 April 2019, García shot himself as police officers were preparing to arrest him over matters relating to the Odebrecht scandal; he died hours later.He was known as an immensely talented and charismatic orator, recognized by South American leaders and critics as one of the best orators of the Spanish language.
