Creation of FECVRA (Peasant Federation of the Apurimac River Valley).
In 1979, the Peasant Federation of the Apurimac River Valley (FECVRA) was created and became one of the most important social organizations in Ayacucho, grouping more than one hundred bases until its deactivation in 1983 due to the violence of the PCP-SL and the Navy.
In 1979, the Peasant Federation of the Apurimac River Valley (FECVRA) was formed in an attempt to stop the abuses of large traders in the area. This organization would become one of the largest and most important social organizations in the entire department of Ayacucho, with more than one hundred members by 1983. The FECVRA sought to defend the interests of the small farmers and peasant settlers of Ayacucho who had occupied the valley. In 1983, the federation was deactivated, trapped between terror and repressive violence, both from the PCP-SL and the Navy. Its top leader, Julio Orozco Huamani, was assassinated in August 1983 at the Luisiana hacienda, the Navy's main base.
