This is an offer directed at business people that quickly greeted the right-wing government’s initiative. Therefore, it’s a proposal aimed at the interests of the business class, disguised as a development and peace initiative for the region. Today the government intends to affect even more the Mapuche people, modifying the indigenous law and allowing our lands to ‘enter the market. Recognizing autonomy comes hand-in-hand with the recognition of all the collective rights we have as a people, the autonomy of the Wallmapu can’t be solved with quotas in parties controlled by the national Chilean oligarchy. The situation of our language is critical and we can’t see any willingness for a serious revitalization plan.

Wallmapuwen political party statement, rejecting the Chilean government's new Araucania Development Plan, intended to ‘pacify’ the Mapuche territory in exchange for millions of dollars in public investment.
