Hello everyone ! Today I will to talk  you  about   the last decision of The Corte Suprema about the mapuche’s criminal proceedings. I think that is amazing  how the social pressure has relevant in legal process. Unfortunately, again the “final” decision was created when the four mapuches (Llaitul, Llanquileo, Huenuche and Huillacal) decided start a hunger strike. But, what is the reason of strike? Is very simple, they want a fair trail. They four mapuches, which are members of the CAM( Coordinadora Arauco malleco)   were convicted to prision because  at the trial, the judge decided that    committed a attempted murder against the lawyer Mario Elgueta. The Corte Suprema said that the prision against the mapuches would decrease. However the mapuches   want to continue with the strike. The problem at the trial is that the lawyers has many arguments based in laws against the terrorism. Besides, the facts that the lawyers show not have a complete true. The arguments are confused.

I think that the reason of the strike is very fair, because the mapuches just want a fair trial.

Also, the relations  betwen the goverment and  the mapuches is an problem that need many people  with the plural information for understand it. The chilean history  are accomplice in this problem. I think the mapuches at strike are motivated for a  politic reivindication for their lands usurped when the chilean goverment imposed all for to aproppiate.
