The social leader Juan Grabois described this Tuesday the arrest of the leader of the Mapuche Ancestral Resistance (RAM), Facundo Jones Hualaas “a smoke screen on the real problem of Patagonia“which he considered is the”theft of land, water, lakes and minerals” by “the multinationals“.
“With Jones Huala, they created a young man without any power to damage the internal enemy to put a smoke screen on the real problem in Patagonia,” he posted on his Twitter social network account. And he added: “The multinationals steal everything from us – land, water, lakes, minerals – in illicit association with the politicians on duty.”
In this sense, the leader listed other problems that must be faced by certain sectors of society that “cannot access” to “dignified living” conditions. “In the meantime, the people cannot access a roof in the city or live in the countryside with dignity. It has no gas, although it lives with its feet on the largest gas field on the planet”, remarked the also referent of the Patria Grande Front and the Movement of Excluded Workers (MTE).
