Centromin strike
Strike of Centromín Perú workers between February and March 1986, which, although it did not achieve economic benefits, meant a political triumph by displacing the APRA leaders from the main union bases. During this conflict, the PCP-SL carried out its first assassinations of mining leaders.
In February 1986, a strike was called by the workers of Centromín Perú which lasted until March of that year. This strike was a test of strength between the APRA mining leaders and the non-APRA sectors of the union. The context was the division of the FNTMMSP and the formation of the FETIMMAP by the APRA leaders in 1985. Although the strike was unsuccessful in terms of economic demands, it represented an important political triumph as the APRA were displaced from the main bases of Centromín. In this context, the PCP-SL carried out its first assassinations among mining leaders.
