Hi everyone! I want to give my opinion about the mapuche conflict, which has recently divided the public opinion in our country. First, I want to say that I completely support the mapuche cause, because I think There´re just victims of the economical interests
This conflict it´s really old, but in the last decades has rebirth, principally because the increase of the education, which made possible the incorporation of a developed ideology in the minds of the mapuche´s leaders. They fight for their territorial autonomy and the recognition of their collective rights. This fight is against the State, who in the last years has clearly favored the foreign companies, which used those territories for forestall and agriculturalist exploitation. The consequences of this have reverberated on mapuches, and they have been expulsed of their own lands. They don´t have the economical mediums for defended themselves, and the worst part is that the national mass media, dominated by big groups of actionists, represent this people as terrorist, which produce that a big part Chile believe it. But the fact is that the national police put tools and guns in their houses to have excuses for arresting them. They are not even rewarded for used their territories
The solution of this conflict seemed difficult to found soon. First, it´s vital that the Chilean State makes respect the Constitutional state, guaranteeing the property law and defending the public order. Also, the State has to create projects against the poverty of the mapuche people, and make programs of education and capacitating. The education has become an important tool for this people because has returned to them the conscience of people and dignity. The marginality of our ancestors has to be eradicated forever. They have to become agents of their own development, and not depend of the State
