We publish this english translation of a message from the EPL:
Revolutionary greetings, as the struggle of the Peruvian people has been increased in quantity and quality, becoming more intense and fierce, a lesson in the very heat of the class struggle and the increase is gradual, the People's War and the PCP impressed in these 38 years of combative and avant-garde experience of the World Proletarian Revolution, today the need and demand in Peru is greater, it commits us to the peasantry and the broad masses of neighbourhoods, with the deepest and broadest masses, they are the arena of contention against the old Peruvian state, a paper tiger to the bone and its genocidal armed forces expert in defeats, its repressive police forces that are the support of its old order of exploitation and oppression.
GENOCIDAL ARMED FORCES THAT NEVER HAVE WON ANYTHING: "Courageous to kill and cowardly to die", that rage with the blood of the best children of the people and disarmed people, fighting and combative people who strive to defend their rights and win victories, plucking laurels to death, before that clamour, demand and need of the EPL.
The EPL, under the absolute direction of the PCP, joins and solidarises with these struggles of the Peruvian people, commits itself to continue struggling together and united with the people, to defeat the class enemy, becoming a true and new army of the people, always organized and directed by the PCP, today in the task of the General Reorganization of the Party, guided by the almighty Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, Gonzalo Thought and under the leadership of Chairman Gonzalo.
A fierce and rocking AGRARIAN STRIKE OF MORE 72 HOURS, the peasantry defends its production of potatoes and Emergency of Agro is declared, the debt is condoned to banks loans and it is no precooked potatoes get imported from other countries, etc. Since January 30, the struggle has begun first in Huánuco and Huancavelica; on the 31. in Junin, Apurimac, Ayacucho, Pasco and Arequipa, as other reactionary press spokesmen and the reactionary Congress say "there are more than 9 regions that affect all Peruvians, etc.", we must denounce the 3 deaths and several arrests of peasants. The fruit farmers have joined the struggle.
Denounce, that this rotten system, faced with its desperation, resorts to what it knows best about blackmail, "dialogue" and repression and genocide to try to stifle and extinguish the intense and incessant struggle of the peasantry, a sector of pacifist farmers and followers of the outdated system have dialogue but most do not accept them as those of the Central Race of the centre of the country, Junin, Pasco, Huanuco, Huancavelica, Ayacucho and Andahuylas, very on the contrary took and blocked the roads to the Airport since the start of the Agrarian Strike, they have stopped the free transit of land and air transport, had confrontations with the genocidal hordes of the police, the masses have burned vehicles, front tractors and took police stations, a great development of the struggle and a better organization, now they want to achieve their platform and not fall in dialogue and blunt pacifism, it is the people in struggle that leave great lessons and crush the black positions of "peace agreements" and regional election and general, such as those of Movadef, Fuddep, LOI, Fenatep and Frente Amplio, etc. GREETINGS OF THE CLASS, COMRADES.
