CHILE: Mapuche conflict escalates
Two senior officials in Chile’s militarised police, the Carabineros, in the southern region of La Araucanía have resigned along with the region’s governor. The resignations are part of the fallout from an operation by the Carabineros which resulted in Camilo Catrillanca, a 24-year old, being shot dead. The political opposition seized upon the incident to criticise the belligerent aspects of President Sebastián Piñera’s ‘Plan Araucanía’ and summoned the interior minister, Andrés Chadwick, to appear before deputies in the lower chamber of congress on 11 December.
