Today it is of fundamental importance more than ever before to reaffirm support for the directives of Chairman Gonzalo elaborated in the Second Plenum of the Central Committee of the PCP: "... always keep in mind the glorious tumult of people's war; people's war cannot be stopped. The leadership can be lost, in part, not all, but the remaining leaders can and should carry out the plans, the struggle, the people's war. We are forged in that the revolution cannot be detained, cannot be paralyzed..." Here he also describes the fate of capitulators: "Capitulation is expressed in two ways: capitulation against native reactionaries and capitulation before the world revolution. It is always so. Its objective is to sell out the revolution. It is rot, and should be razed with blood and fire. (Preparatory session of the Second Plenum)."
Today more than ever it is a fundamental necessity to crush the reactionary, liquidationist slander, to crush the opportunist line of the capitulators, we must reaffirm ourselves in the Bases of Party Unity delineated by the glorious, heroic First Marxist-Leninst-Maoist, Gonzalo Thought Congress, its program, statutes and tasks; reaffirm ourselves in that the transformation of society can only be achieved through the road of revolutionary violence; reaffirm ourselves more than ever in the accords adopted in the central document of the Third Plenum of the C.C. where Chairman Gonzalo states: "... In the world today their is an unchecked determination to talk about peace, pacification and dialogue; an overflow of bourgeois and petty bourgeois positions of crudest pacifism, a foolish poison injected in our class, in the masses..." We must also reaffirm the accords, resolutions and decisions adopted by the First Congress, Third Plenum, and the work session of the Second Plenum. It is necessary to start ideological struggle using Marxism-Leninism-Maoism with the capitulators anywhere; it is opportune, just and right to unmask them before the masses and stop their lies. Those who are silent in the face of truth, yield.
The National Situation: It is necessary to denounce the genocidal government before world public opinion; its politics of hunger and misery to which they subject the people; the enormous burden of taxation on the Peruvian people that gain no material objectives from the international banks or social benefits for the people; denounce its illegal administration of justice such as summary trials without defense counsel, under threats and the jailing of relatives, lawyers and innocent people without any proof; the genocidal prison policies of the regime such as harassment of visitors, surveillance of family members, detention of brothers/sisters, children, parents and lawyers of captured fighters, denial of medicines, food and clothing, etc. We must denounce the disappearances in the battlefield. The denunciation of disappearances and jailing of innocents made by human rights organizations are far from showing the true magnitude of the situation. They timidly denounce the crimes of the genocidal regime which are impossible to hide any longer.
With respect to the crowing over the "final offensive in Huallaga" the counterrevolutionary army has tried to mount a campaign of encirclement and annihilation of the EGP (People's Guerrilla Army), an operation that was carried out amidst the indiscriminate massacres of entire villages, with machine gunning of peasants, killing of women and children that have nothing to do with the confrontations (the case of Molluna). The criminal army, unable to meet its objective, was faced by a battalion of the EGP that came out in front, successfully breaking through the encirclement with few casualties and a high cost to the enemy.
The revolutionary counteroffensive is being launched throughout the country with powerful blows to the enemy. In celebration of the 14th Anniversary, the people have come out to fight, spread propaganda, sabotage and carry out hundreds of armed actions. The EGP daily attacks military and economic objectives and annihilates minions, informers and paramilitaries of the government.
The genocidal regime is planning a massive, fierce and indiscriminate repression of the people for July.
