A 2006 cable, revealed by Wikileaks, states that President Alan Garcia had "a colossal ego" and speculates he might suffer from manic depression or bipolar disorder.
It also cites "widespread rumors" of Garcia's extramarital affairs. It was written four-and-a-half months after Garcia, 61, assumed office for a second time.
"This is gossip, information you tend to get from your family, your spouse, at work from bosses, opinion, rumor," said Garcia. "I don't feel offended, nor do I give it importance. But I will say there's a lot of poor-quality diplomacy."
At least 17 people were killed and 20 injured, six in serious condition after a speeding bus carrying more than 50 passengers fell into a ravine and then into a river in Huanuco.

Meanwhile in November, the ego-challenged Garcia blamed his low approval ratings on sad Peruvians.
"We are what we are: sad, distrustful ... We have a natural lack of trust." He says that in contrast, Brazilians "have another sort of nature, joyful and sunny."
Just maybe its the poor roads.
