On October 13, 1988, the peasants of the Callejón de Huaylas began a strike to demand lower prices for agricultural inputs. This mobilization took place in the context of a serious national economic crisis and coincided with a national strike called by the CGTP in protest against the economic measures of Alan Garcia's APRA government. The peasant strike was part of a broader cycle of social protests that characterized that period, including demonstrations by various sectors affected by the economic adjustment policies implemented in September of that year.
