问：目前秘鲁革命运动的消息不是很多。自从贡萨罗主席被捕后，道路出现了曲折。现在形势如何？
红日：这并不意外。这是低烈度战争策略的一部分，也是心理战的一部分。并不仅只有国外很难得到有关秘鲁人民战争的消息。很明显这是帝国主义——美帝国主义及其秘鲁走狗的阴谋。他们不能，尤其是对人民掩盖人民战争。然而对消息的封锁很大程度是帝国主义领导发起的一场运动。巴勒斯坦发生了事情，会出现在媒体上。但革命者做的事情，媒体并不报导。不幸的是，一些有能力宣传人民战争的同志出于政治考虑也不再这样做了。
问：秘共和革命国际运动的关系如何？
红日：秘共是革命国际运动的成员，认为它是把国际共产主义者重新联合起来的一步，因为它坚持正确的政治路线和组织路线。有国际革命运动内部，尤其是委员会的一些成员之间表现出了和右倾机会主义同流合污的修正主义倾向。我们正在开展两条路线斗争反对这些倾向。我们严正驳斥那些宣称我们反对革命国际运动的言论。这是在造谣。
问题：自从贡萨罗主席被捕后，你们和他联系得过联系吗？当前有关于他健康状况的报导吗？
红日：自从1992年，贡萨罗完全与外界隔绝。除了他的警卫，没人和他有过接触。任何宣称见过或跟贡萨罗主席讲过话的人，要么是反动派的一分子，要么就是恶作剧。现在他们说要重新审判，他将再次露面。他们说贡萨罗主席拒绝讲话。他为什么拒绝讲话？骗人！贡萨罗主席的具体情况是他的生命比以往任何时候都危险。由于没有人看到过他，我们不能承认这一点。世界人民必须起来保卫贡萨罗主席的生命，因为他是人民革命的领袖，是当代最伟大的马克思列宁主义者。必须指出保卫贡萨罗主席的生命不是权宜之策，而是国际共产主义运动的战略性任务。

(The Red Sun is the Organ of the MPP — Peru People’s Movement — in Europe. I t covers reports on the Maoist Party in Peru (PCP). This interview was conducted during the MR-2004/WSF events in Mumbai in Jan 2004) Q. Presently not much news is coming from the revolutionary movement in Peru. There was a bend in the road after the arrest of Chairman Gonzalo. What is the situation now? Red Sun: This was not an accident of any kind. It is a part of the strategy of low intensity warfare, part of psychological warfare. It is not only abroad that it is difficult to get information about the people’s war in Peru. It is an obviously sinister attempt of imperialism, Yankee imperialism and their Peruvian running dogs. They cannot hide the people’s war particularly from the people. But this subversion of the news is to a great extent a campaign led by imperialism. When something happens in Palestine it is in the media. But when the revolutionaries do it, the media does not report. Unfortunately, some comrades who have the ability to spread news about people’s war did not do it due to political intentions. As a matter of fact, since 1991 the people’s war is unfolding in a state of strategic equilibrium. From September 1992 there was a bend in the road. This got reflected in a situation of flux. It took the form of temporarily diminishing of the key instru-ments of the revolutions: the Party, the Army and the United Front / New Power. At this time and in 1993, the Peruvian reactionaries and particularly the armed forces of Yankee imperialism launched the peace letters. They did that in collaboration with a group of traitors, revisionists/capitulators who from the prison put forward the line of capitulation. These revisionists did not put their line inside the party but publicly. When they did so they were in prison. This line and their hopes were crushed by the party in a masterly way through the two line struggle. So not for one short second did the people’s war stopped. On the contrary, even in these years the enemy attack continued on the new power, and particularly most severe repression was carried out. In spite of a massive genocide the new power was defended and maintained. Of course, some base areas could not be retained due the fluidity in people’s war. In this situation the party has come to a situation where the steps to overcome the bend in the road will get reflected in the three weapons of revolution. For example, in people’s war there was one very important and significant action this summer in Ayacucho against a company called Techint. This company is an imperialist company and is involved in a gas project. There was a big construction camp protected by armed police forces. One of the main forces of the PLA took control over the entire area, took them prisoners and held them for 24 hours and organised a meeting with the workers there. Meanwhile, a message was received from the bases. Twelve dumps of dynamite, communication equipment and medicines etc were taken to the bases. After that when they retreated the reactionaries were in panic. The reactionaries sent elite commandoes in helicopters to the area. But they could not capture a single comrade. The whole of the elite troops were surrounded and annihilated. A high ranking officer was also among them. Now in the last year there has been a huge campaign of annihilation against the New Power in an area called Huanaco, one of the strongholds of the people’s war. This started in October 2003. This military operation of the armed forces is called fiaero (iron) 2003. This campaign against revolution was led by Yankee imperialism, doing so in the disguise of war against drugs. Here is one important footnote. Yankee imperialism is still using the pretext of war against drugs because they fear most the anti-imperialist movement led by Marxist-Leninist-Maoist parties. Therefore they don’t want the people to of the world to know of the shining light of people’s war in Peru. In this campaign they have used helicopter gunships, advanced ground forces but the party applied active defence and passed on to develop a counter campaign. Several ambushes were made and the enemy suffered heavy casualties. The Party secured victory in its counter campaign. Regarding the cities. Previously it was more easy to work in cities but after the bend in the road there has been extreme repression. For example, merely for slogan painting you may be imprisoned or tortured. Now they kill. There were also many attacks on the leaders of popular movements. So, the party is applying mass line in the new situation in a more clandestine way. For example, in a recent strike of teachers, and also among the workers, health workers, and peasants the party at present is leading them in many of their struggles. Q. What is the relationship between the PCP and the RIM? RS. The PCP is a member of the RIM and considers it a step forward in the reunification of the communists at the world level, as long as it follows a correct ideological and political line. Inside the RIM, and particularly among some members of the committee there has been expressed revisionist positions that converge with the right opportunist line. We are developing the two line struggle against these positions. We firmly reject those who claim that we are against the RIM. That is false and a lie. We are for unity on the basis of MLM mainly Maoism, the impeccable struggle against revisionism, and are serving the world proletarian revolution. Our party since the very initiation of the people’s war on 17 May 1980 has claimed that we develop people’s war to serve the world proletarian revolution. That is why we develop two line struggles. That is not a bad thing, that is a good thing, as Chairman Mao has said. Q. Has any communication been established with the Chairman Gonzalo in the jail? Is there any word about his health presently? RS. The question is that since 1992 Chairman Gonzalo is in complete isolation. No one except his personal guards have any contact with him. That is the bottom line. Anyone who claims that he has seen or spoken with Chairman Gonzalo is either a member of the reactionary power or its rogue opposition. There is no communication with him since his masterful speech of 24 September 1992 where he called upon each of us to fulfil the tasks and plans of the Party and to continue the people’s war. All this montage (fake videos) of so-called meetings and so forth are all thoughts of the hoax of the peace accord. The Party is putting forward a just and correct demand for a live and direct presentation of Chairman Gonzalo before the televised national and international media, and he should be allowed to present himself in person, because this will break the isolation but the enemy does not allow it because they know that that would be the victory of the people of the world, for the world revolution and they are also afraid that the people will assimilate Gonzalo Thought. Thus they won’t allow him for five seconds even. Now they are speaking about making a new (trial) which will be another show. And they are saying that Chairman Gonzalo has refused to speak. Why should he refuse to speak? It is a hoax. The concrete situation about Chairman Gonzalo is that his life is in bigger danger than ever. Even before he was imprisoned he had some typical physical problem and Fujimori himself stated in 1993 that no one lives longer in those conditions in which he is held and that was ten years ago. Since then no one has seen him. We cannot accept this and the people of the world must rise up to defend the life of Chairman Gonzalo because he is a great great leader of the people’s revolution and the greatest living Marxist-Leninist on the face of earth. And here it is also necessary to point out that the defence of Chairman Gonzalo’s life is not a turn off and turn on campaign but a strategic task of the communist movement.
