One of the most disgusting nights since I came to Chile some yrs ago. An angry armed mob, supported by police, attack Mapuche who were occupying the Curacautín town hall to support the hunger strike of their spiritual leader Celestino Cordova. (1/)
Among the Mapuche were women and children, who were beaten with sticks. Their vehicles were set on fire. In Ercilla and Traiguén, occupied town halls were attacked as well, which shows this was an organized attack. But what's even worse, is the racism that surges today (2/)
As if the Mapuche occupy the Araucanía region, the hashtag #AraucaniaDesperto is trending. After the attack, the mob in Curacautín started yelling "indians out" & "who doesnt jump is a Mapuche", a reference to the Chile protests (3/)
