In 2017, he organized the First National Congress for the Decolonization of Peru and Tahuantinsuyo where he made a "call for the union of the social forces committed to seizing and recovering the sovereignty and self-determination of the peoples of Peru and the Tahuantinsuyu" inspired by the "libertarian and decolonizing spirit of Tupac Amaru II".[7] In the Las Bambas protests, he took the lead after the arrest of protest leader Gregorio Rojas. During the protests, he gave a speech calling for a "civic-military union" against "colonizing companies."[8]
During the 2021 Peruvian presidential election, he endorsed the candidacy of Pedro Castillo of Free Peru, whom he considers his "brother in struggle."[9] During a program hosted by Beto Ortíz, audio was played where Quiroga Vargas expressed his intention to carry out "revolutionary process[es]".[10]
