DEBATE coexistence between cHiLeAns And tHe MAPUcHe
The result of the plebiscite of October 25, 2020, in which the ‘apruebo’ option prevailed by a surprisingly wide margin, has led Chile into a democratic process that will lead to a new political constitution for the country. Keywords In the demonstrations that led to this Coexistence plebiscite, one of the most repeated State demands was related to the constitutional Mapuche recognition of indigenous peoples. It is no Plurinationality Debate coincidence that the Mapuche flag or the Wün_yelfe – the Mapuche star – were among the most characteristic symbols of the unrest. From that perspective, and at this historical juncture, in this debate we ask if it is possible for two nations to coexist, or if this can lead to a conflict like the one developed between Jewish people and Palestinians. Well, although we are aware that the relationship between the Mapuche people and the state of Chile has been complex – to the point of being an unresolved conflict of over 500 years – perhaps the new constitution is the ideal instance to legally acknowledge a problem that, after all, is a coexistence conflict.
