The subversion strikes again, this time disguised as Front for the Defense of the Ayacucho People (Fredepa). Just as they organized to take over the Alfredo Mendívil Duarte airport, in December 2022, now the organization linked to Movadef – Sendero Luminoso planned to monitor and harass a government delegation that arrived in Ayacucho to participate in a student activity. Did they seek to repeat the unfortunate violence that left dead and injured?
Through social networks, the Transitional Fight Committee of the Fredepa He encouraged the population to go to the Ayacucho air terminal and receive “the traitorous ministers” and President Dina Boluarte. The arrival of the heads of Education, Óscar Becerra, and Health, Rosa Gutiérrez, was expected.
However, the official agenda changed and only the Vice Minister of Health Benefits and Insurance, Henry Rebaza Iparraguirre, arrived at the airport to be part of the start of classes at the Mariscal Cáceres school.
About 80 people came to the vicinity of the Alfredo Mendívil airport with banners and banners in favor of the change of Constitution. The mob was contained by a contingent of the National Police. Everything was broadcast live via Facebook by himself Fredepa.
The agents, in their attempt to ensure public order, received insults and were attacked with objects by the violent protesters. In the midst of the confrontation, José Valentín Quispe Huamán was arrested, but he was released after a few hours.
The violence did not stop
After generating violence near the airport, members of the Fredepawho has ties to Movadef, followed the official Henry Rebaza to the Mariscal Cáceres educational center.
“We have to make ourselves respected. Look who’s coming, the deputy ministers to our school. Armed policemen. (…) We are not going to allow a murderous Dina to come and show her face to the people of Ayacuchano”, expressed Magno Ortega Quispe, who replaces the investigated Rocío Leandro –comrade ‘Cusi’–, and chairs the Transitional Struggle committee of the Fredepa.
Ortega is the right hand of the ex-Castillo minister Iber Maraví, who was secretary of the Movadef Youth and is linked to various terrorist attacks in the 1980s.
For Pedro Yaranga, a specialist in terrorism issues, Ortega and Maraví are the maximum “ideologues” of the Fredepa.
“He Fredepa it would have been used as a front for the subversive organization Sendero Luminoso,” Yaranga said.
Yesterday, the demonstrators protested the preventive detention issued, last February, by the Judiciary against Rocío Leandro and other leaders of the Fredepa.
The Prosecutor’s Office accused Leandro of being the financier of the demonstrations in Ayacucho against the Boluarte government, which claimed the lives of 10 people during the mobilization on December 15.
During a hearing, prosecutor Luis Ramírez explained that members of the Fredepa in coordination with Movadef, they fueled the protests in order to reestablish the guidelines of Sendero Luminoso.
“(The strikes) served the purposes of the Fredepa: cause disturbances to finally achieve the purposes of said organization. This is the reconstitution of the terrorist organization Sendero Luminoso”, indicated the prosecutor.

they ran away
Once the student event was over, the violentists took advantage of the fact that Vice Minister Henry Rebaza arrived with a delegation at an Ayacucho restaurant and managed to attack him.
Again, the Fredepa He closely followed the details and recorded the precise moment when a horde entered the premises and called the Ministry of Health official a “murderer”.
“Murderers, get out of Ayacucho,” they yelled while throwing eggs, oranges, and bottles, as well as pushing the procession.
Some waiters and the only state security guard present could not prevent the violence and the group had to run out of the restaurant.
An official vehicle had to arrive and leave at full speed to take Henry Rebaza to safety. Behind the car the state security guard ran away after also being attacked.
