The leader of the CAM, Héctor Llaitul, criticized President Gabriel Boric after the events experienced by the Minister of the Interior, Izkia Siches, during her visit to the region of La Araucanía, an instance where bursts of shots were heard in the vicinity of the entourage ministerial and the burning of trees to
in conversation with Berriathe founder of the Arauco-Malleco Coordinator (CAM), assured that the arrival of the new Government of Gabriel Boric will not imply changes in the resolution of the conflict, since in his opinion, there are no major differences with past administrations.
“Absolutely no fundamental change is going to happen. As there was not, for us, when Pinochet left. More than 30 years of pseudo-democratic governments have passed and there has been no return of the territory. Boric is making a whole paraphernalia, but The extractivist policies have not stopped, they have not even diminished. They do not have the strength and will not have the strength to confront the system of domination that exists in this part of the Wallmapu”, he commented.
Regarding the arrival of Gabriel Boric to the presidency, Llaitul affirmed that “it does not matter to him”, since in his opinion, the former deputy is similar to José Antonio Kast.
“Boric and Kast represented the two sides of the same coin, we already said it in a statement. Nothing will change, we will continue to have a militarized state, criminalization and persecution. In terms of security, they are putting the same people who organized the repression in times of Bachelet. They are signs of how the hand is coming,” he said.
Regarding the possibility of dialogue, the CAM leader assured that the scenario is complex, but that from the Coordinator they are accumulating forces to deal with the Chilean State.
“For now I see it as difficult, but we are gathering strength to be a large group of our people. When we have enough strength to deal with the State, it may be. But it will be to talk about the return of the territory, or it will not be. We believe that this is the time to debate,” he concluded.
