Some of President Ollanta Humala's longtime supporters are deserting him...as they claim he is drifting to the right by supporting big business...and increased mining efforts.
Recent conflicts may threaten $50 billion of new investments.
Humala's own father calls him a 'sellout'...and his presidency a 'failure'.
The recent defections from his party...may weaken Humala's ability to govern.
But Humala still has an approval rating of 50%.
