The Argentine government of President Alberto Fernández supports a court ruling whereby lands in the province of Bariloche are to be handed over to Mapuche groups, Casa Rosada Spokeswoman Gabriela Cerruti announced.
The premises are in possession of the Argentine State since 1937. It is located 12 kilometers from Bariloche and hosts the Military Mountain School.
Cerruti said Thursday that “the issue of the native peoples and the lands that correspond to them have to do with the particular form of conquest and colonization that Latin America had and Argentina does not escape from that. The lands were taken away from the native peoples”.
She also pointed out that the Mapuche conflict “is part of a national discussion that is contemplated in the laws and in the Constitution.”
