Cardinal Juan Landázuri Ricketts publicly stated that the Catholic Church is willing to mediate if there are positive signs of a dialogue with the subversives. This statement was made in a context of intensifying political violence in the country, particularly after the PCP-SL attack on the Uchiza police post on March 27. The Cardinal's offer of mediation represented an attempt by the Church to seek a peaceful solution to the internal armed conflict in Peru. The proposal was made in the midst of the political and economic crisis faced by the APRA government of Alan Garcia Perez.
