Chilean interior minister zeroes in on Mapuche conflict

The national police of Chile will try to finish with the Mapuche conflict with new technical equipment said Andres Chadwick (the Interior Minister) the last Friday.  He didn't `t said any more detail about it, only announced that the equipment will be recived both air- and land-based and that it will arrive soon.
Supposedly the material will  help to the  government to prevent the Mapuche action and provide evidence to blame them  about violence against the state.  Also he said that he will  confront the clashed with a firm fist, but will help to the Mapuche groups  that have the peace in mind. The Interior Minister  guaranteed  to the rest of the people "safety against those who decide to use violence with all the rigour of the law."  He added that the government have offered alternative solutions to the clashed; specifically peaceful solution but only for "those who have trusted in the action of government."  Well, the Chilean state always has had a clashes with the Mapuche nation, I mean since Chile exists as an independent nation for this reason It is a historic conflict. Today there are a  lot of Mapuche communities that continue fighting  for their autonomy and control over their ancestral lands. These demands burst the confrontations between police and protesters.
In October the Area of indigenous Development ( ADI) presented a program when supposedly would grant 100,000 acres of land development to a series of Mapuche communities in Chile`s Ercilla region. Juan Catrillanca the lonko of this community  doesn't `t believe in this government action neither in the ADI actions.

Well that is all !  It was a little of the state and press lies! See you and think about it ! Because the only violence that exist is the state violence.

XOXO
