COMMUNIQUÉ:
A revolutionary has died.
Long live the revolution.
Miguel Rincón R. was 2nd secretary general of the MRTA.
In his intense political life, at the time of being secretary general of the Peruvian communist youth, he led a tendency that proclaimed the political-military struggle, and joined the ranks of the MRTA with 80% of the communist youth. In 1980.
It was a substantial contribution that allowed Tupacamarismo to make the leap from armed struggle in the fields, jungles and mountains of Peru. Throughout the ’80s and much of the ’90s, he led the political front of the MRTA (People on the Move, and then Free Homeland) and was political advisor for the newspaper CAMBIO, an unofficial spokesman for Tupacamarismo.
After the fall into prison of the general commander of the MRTA, comrade Victor Polay Campos, in June 1992, Commander Nestor Cerpa Cartolini assumed the general command. And, Miguel the 2nd in command.
In this condition he was arrested on November 30, 1995, in Lima, after a whole night of combat, the most important urban combat in the history of the guerrillas in Peru. This happened when the party had an important military force of commandos concentrated in Lima, to take over the national congress, deal a hard blow to the Fujimori dictatorship and demand the release of all its brothers and sisters who were political and war prisoners. In number, approximately 500.
The imperialist bourgeois enemy frustrated this central task of the organization.
From prison, the comrade carried out an intense campaign of comprehensive training of cadres, preparing us for the next liberation that the party was preparing.
This was the seizure of the Japanese ambassador’s residence.
The story is known.
After this new tactical defeat of the revolutionaries, the comrade was transferred to the military prison of the Callao naval base.
There, together with Victor, they faced with dignity and consistency a brutal extermination prison of the Peruvian state.
This did not prevent them from continuing to develop revolutionary theory and write several books each, which will be a source of knowledge for our people and our militants.
Here is the result.
He died with 29 years in prison.
He was sentenced to 35.
Miguel, brother, you are one of the dead who never die.
An example of integral revolutionary.
COMMANDER MIGUEL RINCÓN, YOUR CONDORS ARE WAITING FOR YOU SINGING SONGS OF STRUGGLE AND VICTORY.
UNTIL VICTORY ALWAYS‼️‼️
