Héctor Llaitul: Boric’s Role in the Neofascist Offensive in Wallmapu

The Boric administration will be remembered as the worst of the post-dictatorship governments for the struggle of the Mapuche Nation. An assessment of the actions carried out by his administration highlights:

– Militarization of Wallmapu through the bellicose States of Emergency, which were maintained permanently throughout his four years in office.

– The failed Peace and Understanding Agreement, which turned out to be a farce and a mockery of the communities, which is why it received widespread rejection from the entire Mapuche movement. Its most concrete result was the complete lack of land restitution.

– Modernization of the State’s repressive apparatus, which involved, among other things, the acquisition of Israeli technology for police use and abuse in Wallmapu.

– Reestablishment of the National Security Doctrine, which provided the ideological framework for persecution and repression, as during the Pinochet dictatorship, and which currently defines the Mapuche people as the internal enemy of the Chilean State.

– Continued criminalization of the Mapuche cause through much harsher legislation, which includes even more cruel and repressive laws and regulations, such as the anti-land occupation law, designed to return land to forestry companies. The Naím Retamal law, or “trigger-happy” law, grants impunity to police and military personnel who commit acts of repression. The refinement of the Anti-Terrorist Law extends to the persecution of even the support networks of those who struggle.

– Persecution and imprisonment of the largest number of Mapuche community members ever seen under previous governments, now exceeding 150 Mapuche Political Prisoners (MPPs). These prisoners are subjected to degrading treatment and violations of their political and cultural rights, including cases of torture.

– Repression of all demonstrations and movements for the essential rights of the Mapuche Nation, primarily those concerning land reclamation, where progress in territorial restitution for many communities was also halted. This was achieved through repressive policies carried out by judges, police, and prosecutors, many of whom are known to be anti-Mapuche and operated within a militarized context where prerogatives and actions are at the disposal of the Armed Forces.

In short, the Boric government used repression, militarization, imprisonment, torture, and various abuses against our people to strengthen the system of domination.

Furthermore, he intensified extreme neoliberal policies. This was evident not only in his economic measures favoring businesses in ancestral territory, but also at the national level, such as the ratification of the TPP 11; the signing of free trade agreements with the European Union, China, and US imperialism; the privatization of copper to Canadian capital; and the privatization of lithium and its transfer to transnational corporations, where the figure of Ponce Lerou, Pinochet’s former son-in-law, was given preferential treatment, despite his active participation in the privatization of ancestral Mapuche territory.

So, what did Boric, the Broad Front, the Communist Party, and the former Concertación coalition do as a government? The answer is clear and unequivocal: they betrayed the Mapuche people and handed us over to oppressive institutions, thus perpetuating the system of domination. Without a doubt, they attempted, with the full force of the State, to halt the struggle for the reconstruction of the Nation, the defense and recovery of our ancestral lands. They disregarded our historical demands. Our fundamental struggle is against the capitalist regime that devastates and plunders our historical territory. Our struggle is against the unscrupulous businesspeople who, through their investments, destroy our ancestral lands.

We are a Nation with a centuries-long history of struggle against domination and invasion, and we know very well how the elites, the Chilean bourgeoisie, have built their power on the foundation of dispossession, oppression, exploitation, and injustices against our people.

Today, Boric leaves with his arrogant rhetoric, but he will be remembered as a despot who sought to use us as a symbol of struggle and then betrayed us, siding with the same powerful elites as always.

Boric will go down in history as a sinister individual who facilitated all the conditions for the far right to bring Kast to power, and to launch a neo-fascist offensive that will amount to a new war of extermination for the Mapuche people. In fact, Boric has ensured impunity for the repressors of the Mapuche movement, giving free rein to forestry capital and revealing his true reactionary and treacherous nature toward the Mapuche cause.

Beyond the measures denounced, Boric will be remembered for having paved the way for the fascists, favoring the powerful and the main economic groups, since his administration reproduced the neoliberal model, allowing the realignment of big capital in Wallmapu and in present-day Chile.

These policies, in structural and ideological terms, have created the conditions for the accumulation and reproduction of large capital in the usurped territories, placing themselves against the processes of autonomous territorial restitution that we, the communities and organizations in resistance, are carrying out with dignity. This will exacerbate the contradictions and intensify the territorial struggle.

The Mapuche struggle will not stop in the face of a new offensive by fascism. Our ancestors already taught us the path of resistance; from our lonko (chiefs) we learned the marrichiweu ka weuwaiñ pu peñi pu lamngen (the spirit of resistance for our brothers and sisters).

Freedom for the imprisoned Mapuche political prisoners and all the imprisoned weichafe (warriors)!

Mapuche Political Prisoners Begin Hunger Strike

Pressure escalates in the Quilleco Case: Mapuche community members on indefinite hunger strike to demand the annulment of the trial, due process, and urgent improvements at the Temuco Correctional Center.

The Quilleco Case adds a new chapter of pressure. According to a document received by this newsroom, Mapuche political prisoners have begun an indefinite hunger strike and are targeting the January sentence, accusing the court of violating due process.

In the document, the community members communicate “the current state” of their situation and emphasize that the measure is not symbolic: they demand the annulment of the guilty verdict, call for respect for due process, and, furthermore, raise once again the issue of the prison conditions in the Mapuche community member module at the Temuco Penitentiary Center (CCP).

Indefinite Hunger Strike in the Quilleco Case: The Demands of the Mapuche Political Prisoners

The statement reads:

“Through this statement, we wish to communicate the current situation of ourselves, the Mapuche political prisoners in the Quilleco case, who today, February 16, 2026, began an indefinite hunger strike demanding the following:
1. The annulment of the guilty verdict in which we were sentenced on January 20, 2026, in the Los Ángeles Criminal Court, to 15 and 17 years in prison.
2. Respect for due process and an end to political convictions.
3. Improvements in prison conditions within and for the Mapuche community members module at the Temuco Correctional Center.”

The text frames the hunger strike as a response to a conviction that, they assert, was handed down in an environment unfavorable to the defense and with a pattern of criminalization that is not new to Mapuche and social organizations that have followed the case.

Mapuche Political Prisoners Sentenced in a Trial Characterized by Frame-Ups

On January 20, the bad Chilean judicial system has sentenced to 7 years in prison the werkén Rafael Pichún, accused of masterminding an alleged fire in a truck, in a new ruling that shows the permanent criminalization of the Mapuche struggle.

Along with this sentence, the rest of the lamien were sentenced to 15 years in prison, disproportionate sentences that not only punish individuals, but also seek to hit entire communities, sow fear and dismantle the processes of resistance and territorial recovery.

This new verdict is part of a long history of frame-ups, political persecution and the use of the judicial apparatus as a tool of control, where the Mapuche word is ignored and collective rights are systematically violated.

The role of the werkén, ancestral messenger and spokesperson, is once again punished, transforming him into an “internal enemy” for the sole fact of raising the voice of his people and we denounce once again the Mapuche political prison, the militarization of the Wallmapu and the structural racism of the Chilean State.

Freedom for Mapuche political prisoners.

“Operation Huracán Has Not Ended”: Column by Héctor Llaitul

“With the determination of those responsible in the set-up in the Huracán case, the repressive policy of the State is well established and has had and continues with all previous governments and the current one, which, in our opinion, is the worst of all for leaving on a platter to the ultra-right the certain possibility of policies of extermination of our people…”

Knowing the verdict handed down by the Temuco Court in the so-called Huracán Case and which reveals one of the most serious police setups since the end of the civil-military dictatorship, we want to highlight that, beyond the conviction of two generals and the operational heads of the intelligence unit, this resolution does not directly establish, nor does it point out anything about the responsibility of the political authorities who were involved in this intelligence operation against the Mapuche movement in struggle.

Because it must be absolutely clear that it was an operation directed against the Mapuche Autonomist and Revolutionary Movement, where not only evidence was fabricated, information was manipulated that ended with Mapuche community members arrested based mainly on false messages, but also attempted to distort the true nature of the historical conflict.

By the way, we are referring to the responsibility of the government of Michelle Bachelet and her Undersecretary of the Interior Mahmud Aleuy, who are directly responsible for the implementation of this repressive policy of persecution.

Along with this omission, and beyond the fact that it has not been possible to criminally configure the idea of ​​an illicit association to mount evidence against community members – which would have implications in other cases -, here is another aspect that raises a lot of distrust and that has to do with a kind of compromise that the state institutions have offered to the business community, those that are directly committed to our fight for Mapuche territorial and political claims.

A negotiation that offers stability so that the powerful continue plundering the ancestral Wallmapu.

This is why we can deduce and affirm that, from the beginning, the objective sought by this intelligence operation was to try to distort and muddy the just and centuries-old struggle of our Nation People, inventing a supposed intersection of communication and information of the different expressions of the Mapuche cause.

We are also of the opinion that the responsibilities in the Huracán case are not limited to the political, police and prosecutorial authorities.

The media dimension, the actions of the large media outlets at the service of the powerful, have also not been subject to criminal charges, official and right-wing media belonging to large economic groups that contributed to legitimizing an operation that was fraudulent and criminal. A journalism that, as in the times of the dictatorship, has become, by action or negligence, an ally of a state-business setup.

A repressive and fraudulent state policy

We believe that the background of mounting tests responds to a State policy with the aim of primarily persecuting our organization, the expression of struggle that is the Coordinadora Arauco Malleco – CAM and its historical leadership.

Because it was not only about demonizing it, but also about distorting its objectives, its scope, the approaches and the political action, that is, trying to hit the process of transformations against extractivist policies, as well as against the plundering of ancestral territory, to achieve the development of a proposal for the reconstruction of the Mapuche Nation based, mainly, on a project of rearticulation of communities with an autonomist and self-determination perspective, a process based on an anti-capitalist praxis, anti-oligarchic and anti-imperialist.

In this context, the direction of this assembly was very clear, going against a leadership consistent with the revolutionary approaches from the Mapuche world. It is for this reason that we maintain that the scope of Huracán persists, because the leaders who follow the path of territorial and revolutionary political struggle today are prisoners by the Chilean State itself.

It is also necessary to emphasize that with the determination of those responsible for the set-up in the Huracán case, the repressive policy of the State is well established and that it continues with all previous governments and the current one, which, in our opinion, is the worst of all for leaving on a platter to the ultra-right the certain possibility of policies of extermination of our people.

A new justice as far as possible

With this judicial resolution it has been intended to establish justice, but the truth is that it only favors the usurpers, by trying to cover up those who ordered the set-up, the political power of the day that was not reached.

With this sentence, only some will be left with lesser or remitted sentences, despite the fact that the evidence, the facts portray and reveal the actions of the State as a whole.

It is the state institutionality that continued and never stopped in its persecution against the Mapuche Autonomist and Revolutionary Movement. Let us remember that with Piñera complaints were filed against Mapuche werkenes and that Boric expanded them; that with Piñera the State of Exception was imposed, and that with Boric they have become permanent in Wallmapu, consolidating the militarization so desired and applauded by the extreme right.

The police involved will not be sentenced to high sentences as is the case with the weichafe who have been sentenced to more than 40 years in prison. Not even those who murdered our weichafe from behind have been fairly condemned.

Another no small aspect is that this government, along with establishing greater repression, gave the green light to practically the same agencies and agents of the State to devise and apply other intelligence operations, and thereby prosecute and condemn the leaders of the CAM. Therefore, we believe that, currently, with the militarization of Wallmapu and the new imposed order, impunity will prevail for the repressors of the Mapuche cause.

We are your ‘internal enemy’

With the experience of the Huracán case there is a clear consequence and projection, because despite the condemnation of some State agents that includes police generals, the repressive logic and doctrine was maintained and will continue in Wallmapu.

Evidence of this is that despite the background and the length of the case process, this government deepened the repression and political persecution of the movement in struggle, reestablishing the national security doctrine and defining the Mapuche nation as its “internal enemy.”

It was after the Huracán set-up, when the Piñera government filed the complaint against the main leaders of the CAM, primarily against me, (since I had circumvented the Huracán set-up, the main objective of this intelligence operation), a complaint that was expanded with Boric and resulted in the arrest warrant and conviction arbitrarily and without due process.

Today we intend to present the criminal prosecution of a group of police officers, which meant persecuting the actions of the Mapuche movement, only with bad actions, when the background was and is to legitimize the persecution and repression, at any cost, of a political proposal for the liberation and reconstruction of the Mapuche Nation.

The Huracán case continues

In our opinion, the Huracán case, as we pointed out, has not ended, it persists at least in its logic and corrupt practices.

It should be remembered that during the second Piñera government it was Luis Hermosilla who advised on a type of criminal prosecution in the complaints against the Mapuche movement, in addition to racist prosecutors and a corrupt police (the case of Héctor Espinoza).

Subsequently, with the current Boric government, the same prosecutors who participated in the Huracán case have continued in their positions persecuting militants of the Mapuche cause.

To conclude, I must assume a consistent position and affirm that I was convicted under the same logic and repressive policy that derived from the Huracán case, it was certainly in a more meticulous and directed manner, but with the same method of a set-up. Because the purpose was to achieve a conviction as much as possible, the State Security law was applied to me, a regulation that allows political persecution, and which resulted in 15 years in prison just for expressing opinions.

I was also convicted of crimes associated with this law in events where evidence was mounted and records were manipulated (with artificial intelligence) so that judges, in a racist manner and pressured by corporate political power, sentenced me to long prison sentences.

In short, it is clearly established that it was a political condemnation, for reasons of State and business pressure, the same one that mandated the Huracán case.

It should be noted and finally, that despite the persecution, militarization and intelligence operations, the struggle and resistance of the autonomous Mapuche communities continues.

Mapuche Political Prisoners Begin Liquid-Only Hunger Strike in Concepción

To the Mapuche nation, to the various lov and communities, to Mapuche families, to the various political prisoners incarcerated in other prisons of the colonial state, to the conscious Chilean people, to national and international public opinion, we, the undersigned Mapuche political prisoners, announce the beginning of an indefinite liquid-only hunger strike for the reasons explained below:

Through this document, we inform you that we are currently being held in maximum security module 33 of the Bío Bío Penitentiary Center in the city of Concepción, subjected to a regime of maximum isolation, with 22 hours of confinement and only 2 hours of privacy. In the prison yard, our status as political prisoners, and even more so as Mapuche people, is not respected, despite our being formally charged and awaiting trial. The prison guards have consistently violated international treaties regulating the prison conditions of Indigenous peoples, and even their own internal legislation.

This isolation is compounded by the constant denial of access to information, such as radio or television. Our visits must be conducted via intercom, with the exception of one in-person visit per month. This regime of premature and racist punishment is further exacerbated by the denial of deliveries containing traditional foods from our culture and the exclusion from participating in Mapuche religious activities held periodically within the prison.

It is for the reasons stated above that today, Monday, January 5th, starting at 10:00 AM, we have begun an indefinite liquid-only hunger strike, demanding the following points, which are summarized in the following petition:

1. End to the isolation regime and release from the maximum security module.

2. Creation of a module for Mapuche community members, both convicted and accused, within the Bío Bío Correctional Center.

These two measures are complemented by the following demands:

1. That the prison guards not apply sanctions for the hunger strike we have just begun.

2. Two in-person visits per month.

3. The right to conjugal visits.

4. Attendance at Mapuche ceremonies within the prison.

5. Right to radio and television

6. Right to possess Mapuche instruments and clothing

7. Right to vocational workshops

8. Monthly video calls to communicate with our families

9. Right to hygiene supplies

10. Right to receive packages

11. Prompt visits and respect for our Mapuche families and authorities

Through this document, we also notify the national and regional directorates of the Gendarmerie, the National Institute for Human Rights, and the administration of the Cañete Intercultural Hospital of our mobilization.

– Freedom and respect for all Mapuche political prisoners!

– End the militarization of our territory!

Epu: We come to denounce the mistreatment, racism and abuse of power exercised by the gendarmerie towards subversive, anarchist and Mapuche prisoners. In this case, we PPM have received constant harassment, forcing us to take off our clothes, which if we do not, we are expelled and sanctioned, in addition they falsely accuse us of manipulating sharp elements, without evidence and even falsifying our signatures to assume the sanctions that the gendarmerie applies. We as Mapuche will make it clear to our people and the gendarmerie, that we will not detach ourselves from our clothes, since it is our identity and dignity that they are trying to break, we will not bow to this oppressor, such as the gendarmerie, nor to the Chilean state.

Küla: We send a fraternal embrace of struggle to our brothers and comrades kidnapped in the different prisons of this and other regions, not to be intimidated by this damned justice, which only protects the devastating and predatory companies of the entire Wall Mapu.

Meli: We demand justice for our lamuen Julia Chuñil, who so far has not been found. Without forgetting the peñi who are in the maximum security module of this enclosure (CP Biobío) and we demand the change of regime for our peñi of the maximum, so that they can have a normal courtyard and not the two hours provided by the gendarmerie.

Long escape to our peñi and comrades who continue to fight clandestinely

Communiqué by Mapuche Political Prisoners in Temuco Prison

Until our entire Mapuche Nation

Understands

In all Mapuche communities

And Mapuche territorial resistance organizations

That since the Republic of Chile and Argentina

Carried out the military invasion

And depopulation of the ancestral territories of our Mapuche Nation WALLMAPU

Through extermination and GENOCIDE

HAS KEPT US IN THE DECEPTION

PU PEÑI PU LAMNGEN

KAVEY TA KOM TATI PU CHE MAPUCHE

SINCE 1641 our Mapuche Nation WALLMAPU

HAS NEVER LOST

ITS INDEPENDENCE

ITS TERRITORIAL SOVEREIGNTY

ITS POLITICAL, ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL AUTONOMY

AND OUR ANCESTRAL AUTHORITIES CONTINUE TO HAVE THEIR INHERENT LEVEL AND RECOGNITION THAT WERE RECOGNIZED BY THE GENERAL PARLIAMENT of the Quillin Peaces

STATEMENT BY MAPUCHE POLITICAL PRISONERS OF THE TEMUCO PRISON.

The Mapuche Political Prisoners held in the Temuco prison salute our ancestral authorities Lonko, Machi and Werkenes, our pu Weichafe who resist in Wall Mapu, for the defense of our itrofil mogen. To the conscious and rebellious society we communicate the following:

We have come to denounce the gendarmerie of Chile, which has increased the level of harassment against the P.P.M., to the point of ignoring the judicial rulings that have favored our peñi prisoners. In a clear violation of the law, acting illegally, outside their own law and in a clear example of political persecution against our people.

The facts that demonstrate the above are as follows:

Kiñe: The peñi Fredy Marileo, requested and won in court his transfer from the Temuco prison to the Angol prison closest to his lof. This transfer granted by the courts has been ratified on 3 occasions, but to date it has not been carried out. Understanding that the gendarmerie can no longer appeal this judicial ruling. Keeping the peñi away from their people illegally.

Epu: On Thursday, July 25, after the death of the mother of the peñi Daniel Canio Tralcal, the court of guarantee of Temuco, authorized the departure of the peñi to his lof for a margin of 3 hours, to participate in the eluwun (Mapuche ceremony). A solution that never materialized, since the Chilean gendarmerie did not make it effective.

In a clear display of racism and harassment against our peñi. We consider this to be an extremely serious event, so much so that our peñi was deprived of being able to say goodbye to his ñuke.

Küla: Another serious event that is happening at this time is the illegal detention of our peñi Luis Tralcal Quidel, who to date is deprived of liberty. When there are 3 judicial rulings, which restore the benefit of the daily outing, a benefit that was arbitrarily taken away by the Chilean Gendarmerie.

All these events that have been taking place are a clear example of the offensive against the Mapuche movement and today in prisons the systematic harassment of the p.p.m.

The Gendarmerie of Chile is an auxiliary entity of the judiciary whose function is to enforce judicial rulings. Today we see with concern how this repressive apparatus is breaking its own law, which has already been brutal against the Mapuche autonomy movement.

Today, from the P.P.M. module of the Temuco prison, we make a call to denounce these serious events that have been happening in recent times and we urge all the P.P.M. held in different prisons installed in Wall Mapu to unite their efforts to create an initiative of nütrankagün.

FOR THE FREEDOM OF ALL MAPUCHE POLITICAL PRISONERS.

CAM Statement on the Departure of the Papay Inés Tralcal Llanquinao

The papay was the ñuke of the PPM-CAM and lonko of our organization, Daniel Canio Tralcal, who for seven years has faced political imprisonment with great dignity and a stoicism rarely seen. Today, behind bars, it’s time to say goodbye to his ñuke.

For this reason, we demand that the Gendarmerie and those who correspond do not hinder the protocols so that our lonko can attend the eluwun.

In the same way, we demand that the intra-prison benefits that our peñi have been entitled to for a long time be granted as soon as possible.

Finally, as an organization we accompany the family and the community in these difficult times. Weichan family that has always been on the side of the struggle of our people, where the papay has been a fundamental pillar, as well as our peñi Daniel, to whom, as pu weichafe, we send all our recognition and newen at this time.

Mapuche Political Prisoners of Angol Prison Begin Indefinite Liquid Hunger Strike

“Public statement from the Mapuche political prisoners of the prison of angol modulo F.

Marri marri pu lonko, pu machi, pu werken, kom pu wemuy. We also salute all the peñi in the different prisons and those who show solidarity with the Mapuche struggle.

The module of Mapuche political prisoners of the Angol prison. The declaration of a liquid strike, of an indefinite nature, is hereby informed:

Kiñe:

The Mapuche political prisoners module comes to inform the communities in resistance of Malleco and Lof in general. That we have made the difficult decision to carry out a hunger strike, given the negativity that the Chilean gendarmerie has shown, against being able to develop as Mapuche within the penitentiary facilities. Colliding even with indigenous rights, a declaration of human rights and also against ILO Convention 169 itself.

List of Mapuche police prisoners declared on strike:

1. Danilo Nahuelpi Millanao

2. Joaquin Huenchullan Queipul

3. joaquin Millanao Queipul

4. Marcos Tori

5. Matias Ancalaf Prado

6. Moroni Ancalaf Prado

11. Rodrigo Calabrano Ñanco

12. Benjamin Coñopan

13. Alejandro Liguien Venega

14. Pedro Palacio Cañura.

15. Juan Queipul.

Epu:

Gendarmerie of Chile through its representatives in the region, regional director Nestor Flores Anabalon and head of unit, Héctor Miranda Almonoacid. They have been ignoring the existence of the rights protected by international rights organizations and Chilean legislation itself.

-Where we are not allowed, to be able to develop as Mapuche and at the same time as our traditional authorities have been carrying out in all these years. Rather, it is these characters who want to decide how we should carry our mogen on a daily basis inside the prison or module.

-Gendarmerie from Chile to unknown, the 8 points signed by gendarmerie in 2022.

We have been denied the ability to legalize wetripantu, from 2022 onwards.

-We have also been denied the possibility of carrying out the ceremony of changing the folle from 2022 onwards.

-The existence of our traditional authorities, pu machi, pu lonko, pu werken ka pu reñma, has been unknown.

-We have been systematically denied the ability to feed ourselves according to our own worldview and culture. Where it has been these representatives of the gendarmerie, Héctor Miranda himself and Néstor Flores, who have refused to carry out coexistence in a good way within the Angolan penitentiary.

This was recently stated in the meeting held on Tuesday, June 10, 2025, at the regional directorate of gendsrmeria, Temuco. In this meeting, the need to generate a change and to be able to carry out the we tripantu inside the prison with the communities of Malleco and relatives of the Mapuche political prisoners was raised to the gendarmerie authorities. The Chilean gendarmerie opposed it and expressed a political negativity rather than respecting the rights of indigenous peoples. Ignoring the authority of the lonko Victor queipul. Who for the fact of respecting our rights as Mapuche police prisoners inside the prisons of Chile, Gendarmerie accuses him of a threat and locks him up in the prison of Concepción, CCP BIO BIO. Moving him more than 300 kilometers from his territory. In an arbitrary way.

Kila:

We demand the immediate resignation of the regional director of the gendarmerie, Néstor Flores Anabalón and the Head of Unit, Héctor Miranda Almonoacid. Product of the refusal to respect the rights protected in ILO Convention 169 and human rights that protect the existence of indigenous or native peoples. We also hold them responsible for everything that may happen to the health of the Peñi who will face this hunger strike. So that once and for all, our quality as a people belonging to this territory and of which we have been a part since time immemorial is respected. We understand that we are not on the best side, but we are part of a people that is characterized by unwavering struggle, by its spirituality, by its closeness to nature.

For taking care of our itrofil mogen, for protecting our ñuke mapu. The Mapuche take care of paradise, that which does not see the winka, that which does not see the one who seeks to profit, that which does not see the gendarmerie of Chile.

The Mapuche will not tire of fighting. he will never forget his freedom. Because in these lands our bare feet will walk from the great la futa mawuida to the imposing lafken mapu.

Meli:

Finally, we demand the immediate release of Lonko Victor queilpul.

We also call on the communities of Malleco mainly to be attentive to the racist actions of the Gendarmerie of Chile and the puppets of the State, as well as we call on the different LOF and territory of the Wall Mapu, the modules of Mapuche political prisoners to be united in this struggle.

Kiñeukuleiñ tufachi weichan rupu mu.

– Immediate release of the lonko Victor Queipul.

– Freedom for all Mapuche political prisoners

– Dignity and respect for the Mapuche modules
