In a communiqu\u00e9 sent to La Zarzamora<\/strong><\/a>, the Mapuche insurrectionary cell<\/strong><\/a> cited ecosystem degradation, corruption in extractive licensing, and climate change as reasons for the attack. It also declared \u201cunity with the fight for Mapuche autonomy<\/strong><\/a>\u201d from Chile and Argentina. The communiqu\u00e9 sent greetings to \u201ccomrades who have dealt blows in other territories of the world\u201d, mentioning recent attacks on cement factories in Germany and resistance to the Mountain Valley gas pipeline in the USA. The communique linked the recent attack to the international Switch Off!<\/a><\/strong> campaign, a loose banner for anti-capitalist sabotage attacks on the infrastructure of companies who thrive on ecological catastrophe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The group has previously targeted<\/a><\/strong> cement companies in the region, which depends on the Maipo river for 70% of its drinking water and over 90% of its irrigation water. Sand and mineral extraction from riverbanks affects a river\u2019s flow and speed, creating sinkholes that propagate upstream, leading to a domino effect of regressive erosion. This erosion destroys the surrounding living system and creates conditions ripe for landslides. Worldwide, the impact of cement production contributes to about 9%<\/a> <\/strong>of global carbon dioxide emissions, tripling the impact of air traffic and ranking among the most polluting industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Over the past decade, militaristic policies<\/a><\/strong> against any sector antagonistic to the interests of the State have intensified in Chile, continuing today under the social-democratic government<\/strong><\/a>. According to the text, the government is \u201craising false flags of struggle, colouring itself as environmentalist, pro-human rights, pro-\u2018indigenous peoples\u2019 and against gender violence, proving not only to be a fraud in each of these aspects, but also reinforcing everything contrary\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Indigenous group opposing destructive mining in Maipo river sends greetings to anti-capitalist sabotage campaign The group \u201cInsurrectional Cell for the Maipo: New Subversion\u201d (C\u00e9lula insurreccional por el Mapio.
