Proletarians of all countries, unite!
THROUGH REPRESSION AND GENOCIDE,
THE REACTION TRIES IN VAIN TO CURB THE PEOPLE'S WAR
Note on the national situation by Red Sun Magazine 31st of May
2003
On the 28th of May, Alejandro Toledo (the "Yankee
with indian hat"), bred by North American imperialism as president
of the old Peruvian State; has declared "state of emergency
on national level" for 30 days, accordingly, the reactionary
armed forces takes up the control of the internal order, in a moment
when the strikes by the peasants, teachers, judicial workers, healthcare
workers, etc. - brought about with blockades of the main highways
in the country - have gotten to the point of stirring up the whole
of Peru.
The message of Toledo, when he made public the "state of emergency",
is cheap demagogy and only expresses the desperation of reaction
for its impossibility to fulfill the three tasks that are a necessity
for reaction and imperialism, which are: give new impulse to bureaucrat
capitalism, restructure the old state, and annihilate the People's
War. The runt Toledo said: "We have decided to declare State
of Emergency at national level for thirty days, so that the personal
liberties and the right to free transit is exercised" ,
when in reality by the state of emergency these very rights are
restrained, which is clearly pointed out in article 137 of the fascist
Constitution of 1993, which defends Toledo defends and applies to
declare the State of Emergency: "State of Emergency […]
can restrain or suspend the exercise of the constitutional rights
related to the personal liberty and security, the inviolability
of the domicile, the freedom of assembly and transit…".
The only thing that Toledo does is to show the essence of these
"Rights", the Right of the big bourgeoisie and the landlords
to oppress and exploit in the service of imperialism.
Toledo had a meeting with the Yankee ambassador to Peru, hours before
announcing the "declaration of the national State of Emergency",
under the cover of the "War on Drugs", to later also meet
with "the special envoy of the United States for the initiative
in the Western Hemisphere, Otto Reich" (the newspaper Comercio,
29th of May 2003). This shows who manages Toledo, "the State
of Emergency" has been dictated by Yankee imperialism.
The declaration of the "national State of Emergency"
mainly aims against the powerful and victorious development of the
People's War
In his message, Toledo didn't mention the true motive
for declaring the "State of Emergency", but in all the
other declarations the undeniable truth comes out, about the main
problem that the old Peruvian State has: the People's War led by
the Communist Party of Peru. On the 27th of May, Toledo made a speech
on television, in which according to the Chilean newspaper El
Mercurio (29th of May 2003) "he went back to revive
the ghost of the Shining Path to accuse intentions of destabilization.
He denounced that the inflexible stand of an important part of the
teachers is due to the "hand" of the Shining Path"
. The declarations concerning the "presence of the Shining
Path", "infiltrators", etc., in the protests are
constant, and the Interior Minister has declared that "the
intentions of some terrorists to take the union leadership are being
monitored" (El Peruano, 29th of May 2003).
The full recognition has come on the 30th of May, in a secret session
by the congress to inform regarding the motives for the declaration
of the State of Emergency: "another fact that had motivated
the emergency declaration, according to the ministers, had been
the latest Shining Path actions in the river valleys of Ene and
Apurímac which - according to them - coincide with the protests
by the unions on strike. According to the mentioned members of government,
the mentioned events added up with the social convulsion had permitted
a reactivation of terrorism". (Correo of Lima, 31st
of May 2003)
Let us add the information that, with the State of Emergency, "approximately
70 % of the members of the Armed Forces were sent to the streets
in the whole country to control disturbances", meanwhile
"the lacking 30 % is concentrated in the valleys of Ene
and Apurímac" (República, 28th of
May 2003), with this confession of the other side it is put in the
public light what they try to hide at every cost, how the contradiction
Communist Party - Reactionary Armed Forces develops, People's War
against "Low Intensity War" which is led directly by North
American imperialism, thus the presence of 30% of the troops of
the Armed Forces to make their encirclement and annihilation campaigns
against the Support Bases and the People's Committees in a region
that is a bastion of the People's War, it reveals that the enemy
is bringing about a new and bigger encirclement and annihilation
campaign, which is being confronted and once again it will be defeated
by the counter-campaign of the Party, just as has happened during
these more than 23 years of victorious and invincible People's War.
In this manner the declaration of "State of Emergency"
by this runt of imperialism that is Toledo, is part of a new campaign
of the enemy against the People's War, a campaign that they develop
resorting to greater genocide in the countryside and in the city,
a campaign prepared, led and instigated by Yankee imperialism, while
the Communist Party of Peru brings forward its counter-campaign
at national and international level, with bold advance generating,
giving impulse to and leading the rough sea of the popular struggle
with People's War.
The masses of the Peruvian people express their heroism and combativity,
confronting in the whole country the Reactionary Armed Forces; expressing
their rejection, showing that they are not afraid of and know how
to answer to the reactionary oppression and the "State of Emergency"
with which the enemy seek to curb and drown their struggle in blood.
The Reactionary Armed Forces go on expressing their genocidal character,
bathing once again in the blood of the unarmed masses. The authorities
bring forth a big campaign to cover up the genocide, but the disputes
inside reaction make them come out: "The President of the
regional government in Lima, Miguel Angel Mufarech (the APRA-ist
that has been with all the reactionary governments - our note) accused
the government of hiding information and denounced that the troops
of the Army massacred the demonstrators in the northern province
of Barranca. In the declarations to the reporters in the Congress,
Mufarech said that seven persons who had disappeared from the hospital
could have died as a consequence of the serious bullet wounds. 'There
is abnormal movement in the morgue of Barranca', he added. […]
'I deny what has been said by the whole government, there has been
a massacre in Barranca (…). There are people who have to have
surgery because they have bullets in the stomach, the liver, the
back, the face and the head', remarked Mufarech, while he showed
some bullet cases to the journalists". (RPP, 30th
of May 2003). While this character did this, the APRA-ist Alan García
and the top leaders of his party expressed their solidarity with
the declaration of "Emergency". Which shows that the reactionary
parties are a mess of worms. It's like that, in the whole country;
the old state is murdering and "disappearing" the best
children of the Peruvian people. The People's War is the only thing
that will make justice and punish duly all of these crimes. The
spilled blood doesn't drown the revolution, but waters it!
The counterrevolutionary war goes, as is established
in the Yankee military handbooks, accompanied by a propaganda of
psychological war, of hoaxes and lies. Thus, the reaction aims to
cover up the fact that the Communist Party of Peru is the recognized
vanguard, upholding the revisionists of all type: mainly the revisionist
and capitulationist right opportunist line (ROL), Patria Roja, MRTA,
etc. Likewise, we denounce the "new" hoaxes against Chairman
Gonzalo, prepared by the future "public trial" of Morote,
the rat of the ROL, and by the declarations of the "Truth and
Reconciliation Commission" that "the terrorist leaders
of the Shining Path, Abimael Guzmán, and the Revolutionary
Tupac Amaru Movement [MRTA - transl. note], Victor Polay
…on the 10th of June will present their evaluations of the
violence in a declaration taped in meetings held with them in the
prison." We denounce and unmask all of these montages of
"taped declarations": they are fabricated by the CIA and
their content has nothing to do with Chairman Gonzalo. We demand
the public presentation of Chairman Gonzalo, live and direct, before
the televised national and international press, and that he is allowed
to make a statement!
All these events in Peru confirm what is established by the Central
Committee of the Communist Party of Peru regarding the national
and international situation. The Party continues the application
of the ongoing plan: Unite the people against the fascist, genocidal
and countryselling dictatorship!, because the government of Toledo
is only a runt of Yankee imperialism. The Party applies bold advance
with the wind in its back, hammering with overwhelming actions with
a clear political objective and in the appropriate moment, as the
one in March 2002 against the embassy of the United States and against
the visit of the genocidal Bush. The Party is conquering great successes
in the planned work of organizing the masses, which is done inside
the class struggle, developing the struggle for the daily demands
in service of the struggle for Power. Today, before our very eyes,
a great leap is being expressed in the incorporation of the masses
in the People's War. The struggle for the daily demands of the masses
is fused with the People's War; marching to form a single torrent.
The forms of struggle, like the stoppage of the country with blockades
of highways, confrontations with the reactionary Armed Forces and
Police Forces, takeovers, etc. are very important, they show the
advance of the preparations for the future insurrection, that will
take place when the forces of the countryside assault the cities
in combination with the insurrection from within, to culminate the
path of surrounding the cities from the countryside, to conquer
the Power in the whole country.
We call upon all the communists and revolutionaries to make concrete
actions, raising the support for the People's War in Peru and the
campaign to defend the life of Chairman Gonzalo, smashing the campaign
that tries to isolate the People's War in Peru from the support
of the international proletariat and the peoples of the world. We
salute from here the future birth of the People's Republic of Peru!
