Support for the Mapuche people from the Balearics

For many years, the Mapuche people have wanted to call the attention of the international community towards the agressive expansion by ENDESA in Chile, which is putting the very survival of the Mapuches in danger. The rejection of the building by ENDESA, of the Ralco hydroelectric power station in the ancestral land of the Mapuches, situated on the shores of the river Alto Bio-Bio, in Chile, continues to generate examples of adhesions all over the world, in particular from the Balearics. We must remember that GESA, the company that has the monopoly for electricity distribution on the Islands and, therefore responsible for the power cut that left the whole of Mallorca, and part of Menorca, without electricity las June 15, is a subsidiary of ENDESA.

Cecili Buele, MP for the Balearic Parliament, in an article called "The Year 200: year of explicit support for the Mapuche people from the Balearics", writes about a meeting that was held in Menorca last Saturday, June 17, with different people interested in going in depth into matters relating to the Mapuches and to reach some conclusions that they consider to be interesting and profitable for those who wish to adopt the Mapuche cause, the cause of people who are resisting the disappearance from the map of history and that requests support in their open struggle against the Spanish multinational, ENDESA.
