Today, September 7th, the mapuche hunger strike is 57 days on; and no one sees a possibility of an affective and good response. The problem is that in Chile the constitution and the laws makes resistance and differences looks like terrorism.
(Ok, I know, this is not the only country that makes that, is the job of all the national States, but it doesn’t make it better)
The government has serious troubles figuring out how to give any solution to the actual situation, because in the national political movements it’s all about making good coalitions, nothing about real people and real solutions. Piñera wants to look good, the UDI people denies the situation, who knows what can came out of here…
I’m not saying that the previous government had do a good job dealing with the ethnical differences, you know, all because we were living like 500 years ignoring the existence of the mapuche people.
That’s why I don’t really see anything remarkable, shocking or surprising of this piece of news… is not really new. I think that this is the kind of things that could appear a little more in the TV, things that makes people question the state of the things, not only receive what they want for us to think about.
Everyone is trying to save the image of the country, the big and important country that celebrates the bicentenary of independent life… but we are not really free, not if we don’t think for our self.
