The Popular Intellectual Movement (Spanish: Movimiento Intelectual Popular, MIP) was an academic-based mass organization created by the Communist Party of Peru-Shining Path in 1979 as part of the party's Fourth Expanded Plenary Session, which defined the structure and duties of various legal fronts to serve recruitment of the united front.[1]
The MIP was directed by Hugo Muñoz Sánchez and targeted students, professors, writers, artists, and journalists.[2][3] The organization had influence in both universities and pro-Sendero neighborhoods, which would be used to form an ideological justification for the party's subversive actions, including its terrorist attacks.[4][5] MIP was involved with the propaganda of other mass organizations, such as the Popular Women's Movement, The Front of Mariateguist Artists and Intellectuals (FAIM), The Pink School (in France), and The Ayacucho Study Circle (in Sweden).[6] Like many public fronts associated with the Shining Path, the MIP fell in significance with the relative decline and collapse of the central party body.
