A video [es] uploaded to YouTube of a rally in favor of the movement Shining Path (Sendero Luminoso), which took place at the San Marcos University (UNMSM), earned a front-page article in the newspaper Perú 21 on June 16. The newspaper wrote [es]: “The scenes recorded last Monday night at the university campus resembled scenes from the long dark history lived by the oldest university of the Americas when, at the end of the 80s, terrorists strolled by as if [the university] was their home…about 50 people rallied to request amnesty for the former terrorist leader Abimael Guzmán and of other convicted Shining Path members… demonstrators moved freely carrying red flags and giving speeches in favor of the release of the so-called political prisoners.” The issue was also covered by other media in Lima. The newspaper La República wrote [es] that “authorities of the Ministry of Interior and the Public Ministry will begin an investigation together with the university administration.” On RPP the president of UNMSM, Luiz Izquierdo said [es] that “the discussion of the student rally has been exaggerated … there were only 30 people involved, and in the university there are 30 thousand students.” Meanwhile Perú 21 collects declarations by the former president of UNMSM Manuel Burga, who said [es] that “there are radical sectors that are gaining more and more space … to attract young people to its preaching.” CPN Radio quotes the Student Fedearation of Peru who indicated [es] that “the media has began a ‘discredit campaign’ against the University of San Marcos.” The media coverage points to a resurgence of the Shining Path movement, but one has to wonder if this is truly the case. San Marcos is going through a difficult time [es] with several internal elections being denounced for irregularities. The video, published by YouTube user periodismope and titled “The last straw: San Marcos students marched demanding the freedom of Abimael Guzman and Shining Path members” (“El colmo. Estudiantes de San Marcos marchan pidiendo la libertad de Abimael Guzmán y senderistas”) can be watched here [es]. The video's Comment section reflects not only a rejection of the Shining Path reappearance, but also a discussion with various opinions: andres6kx el colmo??esos depende de cada opersona que tipo d epénsamiento tenga y que ideologia seguir!!..son libres de hacer eso no estoy afavor de ellos ni en contra…eso es libre la ley lo ampara.. PISKOMAN30 Aqui esta una de las causas por las que estos muchachos gritan por Abimael… existe gente que defiende a los terroristas desde youtube. Lo minimo que podemos hacer es demostrar toda nuestra indignacion contra los que quieres manipular a los jovenes. jaimevl no olvidemos que el terrorismo no es un problema, es la consecuencia de un problema: la exclusión extrema. Mientras el país esté tan dividido (p.ej. la economía crece mientras en Apurímac lo que aumenta es la pobreza, que ya alcanza el 70 %), siempre habrá gente rabiosa, dispuesta a seguir al primer loco que les prometa cambio y revancha, sea Abimael o cualquier otro. rammstein122 Uhmmm..
