With a massive call, which brought about 200 people, was remembered in Santiago the cowardly assassination of Mapuche student Matías Catrileo, which occurred the morning of January 3, 2008 product shot in the back. His murderer, Corporal Police Special Forces, Walter Ramirez. About 20.30 hrs, Monday January 3, in the Miraflores Plaza located on the side of Cerro Welena, it began a yeyipun (rogation Mapuche) aimed at mapu wixan meli (four corners of the earth) . Later, there was a brief but emotional journey at the foot of the hill toward the Alameda, to conclude the velatón scheduled for commemorative activities. This journey was accompanied by ulkantun, purrun and slogans referring to the memory of Mapuche student. The evening called by the family and the collective Catrileo Pu Weichafe January 3, concluded past 23 hrs.
These days we remember the tragic event that mourned the Mapuche movement, on Thursday, January 3, 2008, shortly after news of the death of Mapuche university, Matthias Catrileo, in circumstances in which a group of villagers were preparing to perform a recovery in the former territorial Fundo Santa Margarita, owned at that time, Jorge Luchsinger, lands were returned to the community Yeupeco after what happened.
Three years after the events and while the officer was identified, found guilty by his disproportionate act and sentenced to three years and one day sentence remitted, still remains on active duty within the state institution in the Coyhaique area , where he works in the communications center. The family says Catrileo not prepared to accept this verdict and filed as an appeal objecting, an issue that must be resolved by the Supreme Court, and where they hope to get a sentence fit the crime committed.
family's call to remember and manifest this Jan. 3 for the murder of Matthias fue replicado simultáneamente en territorios como: Valparaíso, Temuco y Puerto Montt. La idea no sólo era conmemorar el tercer aniversario de su muerte, sino repudiar todas las formar de represión que ejerce el Estado chileno coludido con los empresarios de este país en contra de las comunidades y el pueblo mapuche en su conjunto.
La “mano dura” de Michelle Bachelet
A menos de 72 horas de iniciado el 2008 y a tan sólo días de finalizar la primera etapa del mandato de Michelle Bachelet, los medios de comunicación iniciaron sus informativos anunciando el “enfrentamiento entre mapuche y Carabineros en la zona de la Araucanía.” This situation resulted in the death of Mapuche student Matías Catrileo 22.
Initial reports provided by reporters from the area, spoke of the "alleged death of this community." Without knowing for certain what happened, journalists support the thesis of a new arson attack against the estate of Jorge Luchsinger. Paying no attention to the violence with which I am the police force, in case you checked the death of the university. Until the last moment brought this action to the public as a "confrontation" starring Mapuche who entered without permission the Santa Margarita ranch owned by the landowner.
was past noon on Jan. 3 and the government, then, did not dare to give an official statement about what happened in the Ninth Region. However, Interior Minister (s) did not spare Felipe Harboe told reporters in his repudiation of the acts of violence by the Mapuche, in addition to requiring the delivery of the boy's body shot and not referring or relating to the excessive act police personnel who guarded the site this morning.
The death of young villager immediately reactivated the climate of tension in the region of Araucanía reaching the point where the government announced in less than a week occurred the death of Mapuche student, creating a "crisis committee" headed by Interior Minister Edmundo Perez Yoma, Minister of the General Secretariat of the Presidency Jose Antonio Viera Gallo and the Minister of Planning Ministry, Paula Quintana. A trio of ministers joined Rodrigo Egaña, as Indigenous Policy Coordination ", applying the same formula again in 2002 when the Government of Lagos began the invasion against the Mapuche movement and launched a plan called" Operation patience, "led by then Mayor Hernando Hevia Hinojosa police station, a maneuver that was directed against the organization Coordinadora Mapuche Arauco-Malleco (CAM).
Lakes inheritance evil called "Mapuche conflict" was and is far from being a mere stumbling block in the current government administration Bachelet and Sebastián Piñera. Incarceration as a method of restraint, remains to this day a failed tactic used by the State which is the same logic sole purpose of harassment, oppression and genocide against a people and their fundamental rights. Think that applying criminalization measures, it was a good technique of intimidation to end the historic demands of the Mapuche people, was unaware of an old struggle. On the contrary, these repressive laws have only helped to increase the climate of tension in the area and in no way has been spreading the feeling of fear in the Mapuche .-
