document: Language : Spanish Article Type : BFN -LSB- Text -RSB- The Shining Path does not intend to seek reconciliation in the country , has disarmed itself neither militarily nor ideologically , and is instead trying to become a semi-legal party operating as a shock force against the opposition , subversion specialist Carlos Tapia has said . Tapia emphasized that the Shining Path faction led by Abimael Guzman Reinoso enjoys government favor , and among other things has been given assistance in organizing a second party congress . He said that imprisoned Shining Path members of the Guzman-led faction , such as Edmundo Cox Beuzeville , have been allowed to tour several prisons and to promote debates to support the proposal of so-called President Gonzalo . Tapia said : `` The Shining Path was defeated , but it seems that after the beginning of negotiations , Abimael Guzman 's leadership has been consolidated , tied to the commitment to organize a second party congress . '' `` The documents of this second congress are being prepared to make the Shining Path stop engaging in armed actions . It is true that armed actions will end , but no one knows when . A new , stronger Shining Path could reemerge later for a second beginning , and as a weapon for fighting popular movements ... , '' Tapia said . He added that peace negotiations between the Shining Path and the government are being held behind the country 's back . Tapia believes the government is seeking to strengthen Abimael Guzman 's leadership within Shining Path , countering the hardline faction led by Alberto Ramirez Durand , aka `` Feliciano . '' Guzman 's faction , Tapia said , represents the imprisoned Shining Path , while the one led by `` Feliciano '' is made up of the terrorists who are still free . `` They are the ones who plant the bombs , '' he said . For his part , ex-leftist Senator Enrique Bernales has said that the Guzman group is trying to sell itself in order to eventually gain its freedom and later regroup . Tapia and Bernales made these statements during an interview on the `` En Directo '' program hosted by Alfredo Barnechea on Channel 9 . The statements were made in the wake of a letter that Shining Path member Edmundo Cox addressed to Colonel Gabino Cajahuanca , the director of the Miguel Castro Castro prison , asking him for an audience `` to inform you about what we have done . '' Cox was referring to the meetings he held with imprisoned Shining Path members in other prisons of the country to support the peace proposal by Guzman Reinoso , against the faction led by `` Feliciano . '' Carlos Tapia , who is a careful observer of the subversion phenomenon , believes that the Shining Path does not seek national reconciliation , and that it maintains its ideological positions , such as `` hatred of classes '' and its stand against the `` legal leftist sector , human rights organizations , popular unions , and nongovernmental organizations .
