ARGENTINA
The People's Revolutionary Army has de-
cided to deemphasize its rural guerrilla operations and
concentrate on the urban warfare, which has been its most
effective weapon. The decision made in early 1974 to
launch an intensive rural effort in the small but sugar-
rich northwestern province of Tucuman has drawn off ter-
rorist resources from the principal population centers.
Insurgent leader Mario Santucho had hoped that a
successful rural guerrilla campaign would, in Castro
style, contribute to ultimate political success in the
cities. In an effort to accomplish this objective, the
People's Revolutionary Army has been forced to commit
six of its 12 companies to operations in Tucuman. The
remaining are assigned to Buenos Airesi Cordoba, and
other cities. Santucho has now admitted that spreading
his meager forces has contributed directly to recent
reverses at the hands of the Federal Police, especially
in Buenos Aires.
The relationship between Santucho's group and the
larger, neo-Peronist Montoneros movement has worsened.
While there have always been ideological differences
between the Marxist People's Revolutionary Army and the
more nationalistic Montoneros, the split has become more
pronounced lately because of differing perceptions of
revolutionary tactics. Santucho and his colleagues be-
lieve the Montoneros are playing into the government's
hands by employing widespread, somewhat indiscriminate
violence, which the Argentine masses find repugnant.
They also believe that Montonero support of the radical
parties in the recent Misiones election was counter-
productive to the revolutionary cause, 50 poor was the
performance of these parties.
