A businessman threatens a firearm against mapuches comuneros during a ceremony at Lican Ray – National

A businessman threatened with a gun a group of members of the Mapuche community who were performing a spiritual ceremony on the shores of Lake Calafquén, Lican Ray, in the region of La Araucanía.

Luis Gómez badured that the Mapuches were on their country. The man has the registered weapon and a license to use it as a personal defense.

Mapuche leaders insist that it is a millennial country that belongs to them and which they want to occupy.

According to the businessman, although he is on the lake, this line belongs to him and he is even authorized by the navy to occupy the shore with tourist boats.

For the community, this is ancestral land and they do not want to own it, but they occupy tourists and the employer, which they blame for the fence favor them whenever they can.

In the Prosecutor General's Office in Villarrica, the respective denunciations of both parties already exist. Investigative police already have orders to investigate. In the meantime, the government will discuss the issue with the corresponding ministries.
