Isaac Humala

Isaac Humala Núñez is a labour lawyer from Ayacucho and the ideological leader of the Movimiento Etnocacerista, a group of ethnic nationalists in Peru. He is a former communist leader who served as the model for a colourful character in Peruvian novelist Mario Vargas Llosa's novel "Conversation in the Cathedral." He was Vargas Llosa's teacher of Marxism-Leninism when the writer became a member of a university communist cell.

Isaac Humala Núñez, of Andean origin and who speaks Quechua, is the father of Ollanta Humala, the president of Peru. His wife's name is Elena Tasso Heredia, from an old Italian family established in Peru at the end of the 19th century. One of his other sons, Antauro Humala, a former army major, ran a rebellion against the government's policies in the Andean city of Andahuaylas in December 2004, in which a police station was seized and some people were killed. His eldest son, Ulises Humala, also ran for president in 2006, and currently occupies a full-time position as a Professor at the National University of Engineering in Peru.

Humala is a self-proclaimed subversive: "a patriot has to be...Christ was and so are we", he declared in an interview.

Humala's Instituto de Estudios Etnogeopolíticos (IEE) is the brain trust of the Movimiento Etnocacerista, which he founded in 1989. He has been an active member of the Communist Party of Peru – Red Fatherland.
