ASIEH NAMDAR, CNN ANCHOR: Demonstrators in Peru are demanding that President Alberto Fujimori withdraw from April's presidential election. If he wins, it will be Mr. Fujimori's third straight term in office, something the country's constitution forbids. International observers accuse the president of using government- funded programs to win votes. Peru's Global Network reports that 50,000 people have signed up for one program that offers plots of government-owned land to the poor.</s>JOSEFINA TOWNSEND, GLOBAL NETWORK (voice-over): Violence broke outside the Palace of Government, in one of Peru's most controversy political campaigns in recent years. Labor unions, students, the unemployed and different political and social organizations marched through the streets of Lima. Their protests are against President Alberto Fujimori's government and his aspirations for a third term after 10 years in power. (on camera): Demonstrators reject what they consider is an exchange of land for votes. (voice-over): It's a government-run program that consists of giving at the very low price state-owned land to those living in poverty, a place where they can build their own homes. With the elections only two months ahead, these can guarantee for Fujimori a victory in the first round, according to these analysts.</s>JAIME DE ALTAHAUS, POLITICAL ANALYST (through translator): It's the biggest offer in Peru's republican history. It's something that can benefit 20 percent of the population.</s>TOWNSEND: With the possibility of making their dream of having a place to live they can call their own, some have already made up their minds about their vote.</s>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE (through translator): He did very good job during his first period in office. This period has not been so good, but with his promise now I have no doubts.</s>TOWNSEND: For the opposition, Fujimori is using public funds for his own political campaign, a campaign that international observers, including the Carter center, have concluded does not guarantee free and fair elections. For the CNN WORLD REPORT, this is Josefina Townsend, Lima, Peru.
