Guilds in the La Araucanía region described de-escalating the state of exception in some communes of the southern macrozone as a "bad idea." They indicated that "terrorism" remains present and that the Government has other priorities.
This, in response to the proposal by the Minister of Defense, Adriana Delpiano, after opening the possibility of ending the measure gradually and only after a prior evaluation together with local authorities and the heads of National Defense.
Guilds of La Araucanía Reject Idea of De-escalating State of Exception
The president of the Malleco Farmers Association, Sebastián Naveillán, said it is a "bad idea" and that the state of exception should be de-escalated when there are no attacks.
The president of the Multiguild Association of La Araucanía, Patricio Santibáñez, indicated that the minister's proposal "reflects the Government's priorities. They are not with the people, they are not with the concerns of the honest people of this country. They have always been more concerned with maintaining the status quo that provides facilities for violent actors and extremists."
Santibáñez added that the authorities should be focused on dismantling the groups operating in the area. Meanwhile, the president of the Malleco Farmers Association questioned the Executive's intentions, doubting the real interest in solving a problem or demonstrating that the Government ended without a state of exception.
