A-Infos (en) Mapuche Public statement before the declaration of a "state of emergency" in Wallmapu (Mapuche region) [machine translation]

The Mapuche Autonomous Community of Temucuicui declares the following to mapuche 
communities and organizations and to national and international public opinion; 
---- 1.- Today will be a historic day for the racist and terrorist activities of 
the Chilean state and the government of the criminal Sebastián Piñera, it is 
precisely the day on which the genocide and destruction of the environment, which 
racist culture has called, continues and renews "Discovering America". The 
Mapuche people are being attacked through the declaration of a "state of 
emergency" that seeks for a period of 15 days to use the armed forces to increase 
and strengthen the militarization, repression and restriction of the Mapuche 
resistance movement.

2.- This fact demonstrates the resounding failure of the state, the lack of 
political will and the violation of human rights guaranteed by the rules of 
international law. It is also the objective proof of the failure of the 
Constituent Assembly and the reserved seats, where the historical struggle of the 
Mapuche people has been relativized and limited to an abstract notion of 
"peoples". Now, in a debate and declaration of the multinational state, the 
militarization and continuation of the genocide, of which the Mapuche people have 
historically been a victim, has been officially declared.

3.- We are in the presence of a colonial state, with all its racist structure 
succumbing to the pressures of landowners and businessmen who maintain their 
economic power in our old territory, who destroyed the wallmapu and succeeded in 
the intervention of the armed forces. Today all the procedural and constitutional 
guarantees are made available to the police criminals, those who invented the 
elements in Operation Hurricane and the institutions that together with their 
generals have stolen public funds, and who enjoy all freedoms. On the other hand, 
we Mapuche are subject to the criminal law of the legislator, that is, we are 
guilty of the fact that we are only Mapuche.

4.- In view of this scenario, it is necessary to remember that our territory was 
also the object of terrorist acts carried out by the Chilean army during 1986, 
during the civil-military dictatorship, when a large operation was carried out by 
the secret services of the dictatorship. with the support of a large detachment 
of soldiers, who invaded violently, searching for alleged weapons and territory 
leaders of Temucuicui, Trikauko, ancapi ñancucheo and Chacaico. It was a 
difficult time, with house destruction, torture and terror lingering in the 
memory of the Temucuicui guerrillas. So if the Chilean armed forces did not 
intimidate us that time, much less will they be able to do so now.

5.- Finally we point out that we will continue to denounce and resist to bring 
life back to the wallmapu, we will protect Itxofi Mogen as our ancestors 
entrusted to us and we call on all lands to fight and resist, so that we remain 
standing and never knees. Our people have fought since the arrival of the Spanish 
thieves and now will not be the exception, everything that may result from it, 
and the victims that may occur will be the sole responsibility of the Chilean 
state. For this reason, we will maintain our territorial control and continue 
with the reclaiming of our lands, even if it costs our lives.

We are all the Mapuche people
