1. (SBU) Summary: Peru's largest coca-growers' organization 
elected new leadership September 14.  Former leader Nelson 
Palomino, whose recent moderation was seen as bought by the 
GOP, lost his seat to individuals associated with the 
Peruvian Nationalist Party (PNP) and Venezuelan President 
Hugo Chavez.  The cocalero group also announced a nationwide 
strike, scheduled for September 24, though indications are 
the strike lacks popular support.  End Summary. 
 
NEW LEADERSHIP, SAME GOALS 
-------------------------- 
 
2. (SBU) The National Confederation of Coca Growers of Peru 
(CONPACCP) held its sixth annual "National Congress" from 
September 10-15, 2007, in the northern coastal city of 
Trujillo.  Both in terms of membership and geographic 
representation, CONPACCP is by far the largest of Peru,s 
"cocalero" organizations.  In contrast to previous sessions 
which saw attendance by rank and file growers in the 
thousands, this year's meeting consisted of elected regional 
leaders only.  Total attendance was approximately 120. 
 
3. (SBU) Notably, delegates from areas not represented at 
previous national meetings (e.g. Puno region in the south and 
jungle areas in the east) attended this year, leading 
organizers to tout the organization as truly unified and now 
more representative of the cocalero movement country-wide. 
The assembly elected new leadership and agreed to pursue 
several objectives, none of which is new: (1) a halt to 
involuntary eradication of illegal coca crops; (2) GOP 
adherence to the terms of the "Tocache Accord" of March 2007 
(a halt to coca eradication pending a survey of 
coca-producing areas; see refs A and B); (3) 
decriminalization of coca production; (4) withdrawal of coca 
from the list of psychotropic drugs in 1988 UN anti-drug 
convention; and (5) execution of a nationwide strike (see 
para 6). 
 
PALOMINO OUT, MALPARTIDA IN 
--------------------------- 
 
4. (SBU) Until this year, Nelson Palomino had been the leader 
of the cocalero movement nationwide and reportedly harbored 
national political ambitions (refs C and D).  Rumors began to 
circulate in early 2007 that he was losing support within the 
organization.  His January 2007 visit to the Embassy with 
cocaleros and political leaders (ref E) generated widespread 
criticism within CONPACCP that he had gone soft.  Shortly 
thereafter, reports surfaced that Palomino was receiving 
payments from the GOP intended to moderate his agitation, an 
assertion our contacts believe to be true.  Under this cloud, 
Palomino got a chilly reception at last week's Trujillo 
conference, where he was voted out of office as Secretary 
General of the organization.  His supporters maintain that he 
resigned his leadership voluntarily in order to focus on his 
NGO "Kuska (Together) Peru", though most observers see this 
explanation as a face-saving device and have pronounced 
Palomino and his political agenda dead. 
 
5. (SBU) The new CONPACCP leadership is closely linked to 
cocalero legislators Elsa Malpartida and Nancy Obregon, both 
of whom are members of Ollanta Humala's Nationalist Party of 
Peru (PNP).  Some observers believe Obregon and Malpartida, 
avowed opponents of the pending U.S.-Peru FTA and U.S. aims 
and activities in Peru generally, will seek to align the 
CONPACCP with broader PNP objectives.  Others say the 
influence of Obregon and Malpartida will open the CONPACCP to 
"Bolivarian" influences, given Malpartida's all but open 
association with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. 
Malpartida is widely believed to have received funds from 
Venezuela and to be disbursing these in politically 
vulnerable areas throughout Peru, including the Upper 
Huallaga Valley. 
 
STRIKES THREATENED 
------------------ 
 
6. (SBU) CONPACCP leaders are planning a strike to begin 
Monday, September 24 in San Martin region.  Leaders hope this 
demonstration will have national reach, and force the GOP to 
negotiate.  That said, the planned strike reportedly lacks 
even local support, and organizers have already chosen to 
postpone a planned preparatory meeting.  (We will report 
related developments septel.) 
 
Comment: 
-------- 
 
7. (SBU) There is much debate about the significance of the 
new cocalero leadership.  Some say it amounts to a PNP 
victory, with worrying implications about further Venezuelan 
interference.  Others see it as a wash.  Whatever the case, 
like its predecessors, the new leadership has aims contrary 
to established GOP counternarcotics policy and will seek to 
oppose that policy however it can.
