I don't know much about the Mapuche conflict, and I think that just a minority knows very well what happens with Mapuche and the State. Maybe the TV information is not enough, or is not convenient for the State to show this conflict.

I think that this conflict is similar to the conflict in Spain with the Basque Country. They fight for the self-determination right, that is the right to ask to their people if they want to be an independent country. But Mapuche want more than this, they want their lands back and autonomy.

The bad thing is the mass media shows the Mapuche movements like terrorist acts, but they are fighting for what belongs to them. So they are treated like terrorists, and there is a law that is too old to judge their facts. The President a weeks ago says that we must change this law to solve the hunger strike, but he says too that their hunger strike is an ilegitimate way to protest and their facts has to be judge and punish.

I think that this law has to be abolished and Mapuches shouldn't be treated like terrorists. I believe that Mapuche people has rights, but the Chilean State has nothing to say or do about this, just give their autonomy and the rights of their lands, because Mapuche has been here before our State, they know how to rule their life, how to live and feed their people, they don't have the same needs that we have. They just want to live in a peaceful place.
