The topic of the moment and the celebration of the bicentennial in Chile has been, without doubt, the comuneros Mapuche hunger strike. Despite achieving the attention of authorities and internationally, convenience mix so different themes, I think, play in the long run against the mapuche cause. There is a consensus of the need to legislate to correct irregularities in responses to requests for claim of this ethnic group. Although, if we are realistic, never be fulfilled all expectations, mainly with regard to autonomy. While the topic has been successfully installed in the debate, the fact of conditioning causes delinquent solution to issues involving the mapuche community, nevertheless be inconvenient.
