The announcements of the state government concerning the social movement fit into its general strategy of a dirty war: in spite of the fact that all the killed and the wounded in this conflict are on the side of the APPO, that members of the movement, in contrast to those of the paramilitary forces, do not mask their faces, and that all of their actions - from demonstrations by children with flowers, to processions which celebrate Christian church services, to songs and dances - do not overstep the limits of the law and the constitution, the government maintains that it is the APPO who acts as an urban guerrilla force. In fact, an explosion of violence has so far been prevented only by the calm attitude of the APPO, which after its last mass-march of protest has begun to unilaterally take steps to diffuse the tension.

Y sin duda, el que la APPO vaya mucho mas allá de lo meramente gremial o partidario al ensayar la autogestión y autonomía, mediante la acción directa pacífica recuperando ayuntamientos, radiodifusoras, crear las brigadas volantes de vigilancia, poner mercados alternativos a las grandes transnacionales, ocupar edificios para restaurarlos y darlos al servicio de la comunidad, colocar barricadas para frenar las agresiones policíacas, etc., es que el gobierno instrumenta la guerra sucia para generar terror que desaliente la participación de la población en general, permita el aislamiento de los núcleos organizados y facilite la desactivación del movimiento mediante la represión quirúrgica.
