En Français : Avis de tempêtes 43-44 – “Entre océans, forêts et volcans. La lutte radicale mapuche”
“Carahue is located 60 kilometers north of Temuco, capital of the Araucania region located in the heart of Wallmapu, a “belt of lands” inhabited by Mapuche communities and dominated by the Chilean state. On Friday, July 9, 2021, at approximately 5:00 pm, a group of weichafé (Mapuche “warriors”) from the Lafkenche-Letraru Territorial Resistance Organization, armed local organizations that are part of the Coordinadora Arauco-Malleco (CAM), entered the Santa Ana-Tres Palos estate. The estate is operated by the forestry company Forestal Mininco, a subsidiary of the cellulose giant CMPC. The assailants threatened the personnel present, injured a defiant employee and set fire to a minibus, a skidder and a tanker. The carabineros assigned to guard the site then sounded the alarm. As they retreated, the weichafé came across one of their patrols, which opened fire. One weichafe was shot in the head and died on the spot. The next day, the CAM claimed its dead weichafé: Pablo Marchant, “Toñito”, 29 years old, ex-student in anthropology who had joined the Mapuche struggle five years earlier.”
