Recognition of FETIMMAP
On December 23, 1985, the Peruvian government officially recognized FETIMMAP, a mining union federation created by APRA leaders who had split the FNTMMSP in August of that year.

On December 23, 1985, the Peruvian government officially recognized FETIMMAP (Federation of Workers of the Mining, Metallurgical and Allied Industries of Peru). This federation had been formed on August 17, 1985 by mining union leaders close to the Partido Aprista Peruano (PAP), who split the FNTMMSP (Federación Nacional de Trabajadores Mineros, Metalúrgicos y Siderúrgicos del Perú). The Aprista leaders considered that, after the electoral victory of their candidate in 1985, the time had come to consolidate their positions in the mining union. The creation of FETIMMAP represented a strategic division of the mining union movement promoted by pro-aprista sectors.
