Post 7 (27-11) : Current Issues

All Cat Are Beautiful

It has now been a week since that the police of Chile killed Camilo Catrillanca, a member of the Mapuche Community of the Araucanía region, one week, during which, the state of the republic of Chile covered up this institution of murderers through false evidence and shift of attention by media. All of this, once more, under the historic conflict between the state of Chile and the Mapuche People, that arises in the century XVI when the conquering Spaniards snatched violently the lands of this native people.

Yesterday on CNN Chile there was a talk about one posible solution to stop the murders that the police carried out against the mapuche people, the journalist said that the state should have absolut control over the police of Chile, because to the present day this institution seems has control totally autonomous. But my solution is more simple, first, the state return the lands  at the mapuche people, second, withdraw the police force of the araucania, and finally to imprison at the uniformed murderers.

This issue catches my attention because it reveals how disgusting the state of this country is, because from the beginning Chile is a country corrupted by the political power, a country that talks about “progress” but it does not practice it. The murder of Camilo Catrillanca, the conflict of the state with de mapuche people and the issues for health in the community of Quinteros due to environmental pollution, all this shows that this country is falling deeper into the neoliberal capitalism and in his own ego, worthy of one climber society.
