translated from Spanish: Subtle and situation in La Araucanía: “I find it dangerous, because it can be scalable and violence brings violence”

The president of the Confederation of Production and Commerce, Juan Sutil, referred to the situation that occurs in La Araucanía, particularly because of what happened on Saturday night in Curacautín where civilians clashed. In a conversation with Cooperativa, Sutil stated that there is “an overwhelming majority” of citizenship in that region, both Mapuche and non-Mapuche, “who are for peace, development, growth, dialogue and understanding, and there is a much smaller fraction that has been radicalizing certain circumstances and even linked to criminal and drug trafficking matters.” However, what happened in Curacautín is a radicalized civil society, which took a municipality and finally what happened is that the community itself says that ‘we no longer have tolerance and we want this to not happen’,” he added. In the same vein, the CPC president stated that “I find it dangerous, because it can be scalable and violence brings violence.” Therefore, he called to “apply intelligence” in the area and “disarticulating those criminal actions and linked to anarchic or other situations.” I find it dangerous, because it can be scalable and violence brings violence.” Therefore, he called to “apply intelligence” in the area and “disarticulating those criminal actions and linked to anarchic or other situations”, he closed.
