Resumen

The reforms implemented in Peru by the military regime of General Juan Velasco Alvarado between 1968 and 1975 provoked intense competition and rivalry between his government and the New Left parties for imposing a new order. The article explains in this tense and polarized scenario between military and parties such as the MIR and VR, the factors that limited the formation of a solidly organized opposition to the military regime and its reforms and, in the case of the military, analyzes their fear and distrust towards these New Left parties.
