III MRTA Central Unity Committee
MRTA meeting in September 1990 where Victor Polay and the MRTA cadres took over the national leadership of the movement and imposed a militaristic line that displaced the previous political work.
The III Central Unity Committee was a crucial event in the history of the MRTA held in September 1990. In this committee, the MRTA cadres headed by Victor Polay assumed the leadership of the movement at the national level. This event marked a significant change in MRTA's strategy, since a military practice was imposed to the detriment of the political work that had been previously developed by the MIR. This decision to prioritize the militarist line over political work was later considered a factor that would lead to the failure of the movement.
