This occurred during the PCP's Fourth Conference and reflected divisions that had arisen within the international communist movement. The pro-Chinese faction was led by Saturnino Paredes. This group left to form a new organization - the Roja PCP-Bandera ('Red Flag') - taking with them a majority of the PCP's youth organization and several regional committees. The pro-Moscow members included a majority of the national leadership and these retained control over the Party's apparatus, as well as the external finance coming from Russia.”
