PCP-SL releases Cuchara bag and Primavera bag

In 1988, the PCP-SL succeeded in imposing its control in the areas known as bolsón Cuchara and bolsón Primavera, liberating these zones and establishing its 'New State'. With the imposition of the PCP-SL in the zone, they established their social order through a catalog of laws that regulated the daily actions of the population. From this moment on, the PCP-SL became aware of the big business that existed in the area related to drug trafficking and began to define strategies to have greater control over it. The PCP-SL determined that the price of coca leaf should be established by the delegation of the Open Popular Committees and established norms on transactions related to drug trafficking.
