Residents of Villa Mascardi and the group “Self-summoned by the Homeland” They will mobilize today in a caravan of cars from Bariloche to the conflict zone of Villa Mascardi where last year the Mapuche lof Lafken Winkul Mapu was evicted and a guard of federal forces remains to protect the land.
When thousands of people await Vice President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner on Avenida 9 de Julio, who will lead an act 20 years following the arrival of Néstor Kirchner to the presidency, in Patagonia opposition sectors will lead a mobilization with anti-Mapuche slogans and in “defense of the land”.
The call that circulated through social networks and spread by residents of Villa Mascardi, led by Diego Frutos, plans to concentrate at 15 at the Diarco roundregarding, at the intersection of the Circunvalación (Route 40) and Avenida Juan Herman, as happened last year in a similar mobilization that featured the former minister and current presidential candidate Patricia Bullrich.
“We will meet in a concentration in defense of our territorial integrity. Bring your Argentine flag and all the national insignia you have, “spread from the organization that clarified that although there was speculation regarding the presence of Bullrich, this time the leader will not be there.
The idea is that following the concentration and display of flags on the outskirts of Bariloche, the caravan of vehicles departs to the south to reach Villa Mascardi, in a journey of regarding 35 kilometers.
In the National Parks properties -among them the old park ranger hotel in total ruin- that were occupied for 5 years by the Lafken Winkul Mapu community and that were evicted last October, custody of federal forces is maintained. That is why it is estimated that this time the caravan will be able to reach the place, something that did not happen last year since tension was maintained with the presence of the lof in the place.
The reasons for the mobilization to Villa Mascardi
A few days ago, Diego Frutos, owner of La Cristalina in Villa Mascardi, who this week received a favorable ruling from the Supreme Court that dismissed the Mapuche proposal to transfer a case to federal jurisdiction, said that it was called “to patriots to defend the Nahuel Huapi National Park, Lake Mascardi and Guillelmo where the national government wants to hand over land to terrorist criminals who claim to be part of a community -which is not registered as such- for the sole merit of having looted, usurped and burned our properties and violently attacked our neighbors for five years ».
The leader, who is a member of the Mascardi Neighborhood Council, questions the Nation’s proposal to give a location to the lof Lafken Winkul Mapu in Lake Guillelmo and maintain the Mascardi property as a sacred site for the Mapuche people.
The dialogue table with Mapuches, in suspense
That proposal was unveiled in February at the last dialogue table due to the Mapuche conflict that took place and since then successive meetings have been suspended without further explanation and with repeated claims from the Mapuche communities due to the lack of definition of the government.
The Coordinator of the Mapuche Parliament of Río Negro urged this week the national and provincial governments to meet the next meeting of the dialogue table, which is scheduled for June 1, and demanded that the agreement proposed in February be finalized, “including the application of article 34 that extinguishes criminal action” linked to the case for usurpation that is in the process of trial in the Federal Justice, although it was postponed until the end of June due to the development of the instance of dialogue.
Justice maintains the house arrest of four women from the Mapuche community who were repeatedly denied their freedom.
