Neuquén (Agenzia Fides) – “Let all forms of violence and, above all, the criminalization of the ongoing protest cease immediately. Social peace is only possible through dialogue as a tool to address different social situations.” This is the appeal of the Diocesan Team for Aboriginal Pastoral Care (EDIPA) of the Diocese of Neuquén, which has expressed its solidarity with the members of some Mapuche communities and deplored the acts of violence that occurred during the eviction ordered by a court following a complaint from the Executive.In a statement released by EDIPA, it reiterates the importance of “dialogue as a means of conflict resolution, convinced that it is the only way to address issues while respecting the rights of citizens.”Likewise, the diocesan organization urges the State to “effectively and immediately respect the indigenous rights recognized by the National Constitution (Article 75, paragraph 17), by the Constitution of the Province of Neuquén (Article 53), and by international instruments, including the right to legal personality, a request that the communities have been making for some time and to date, has not received a clear and concrete response.” (AP) (Agenzia Fides, 22/7/2025)
