Boric Outlines Proposed Solution to Mapuche Conflict
- President Gabriel Boric received a final report in May 2025 from a commission addressing the Mapuche conflict in southern Chile.
- The commission, created in June 2023, aimed to resolve violent land disputes and Indigenous rights issues in Biobo, Araucana, Los Ros, and Los Lagos regions.
- The report proposed 21 policy recommendations including constitutional recognition of Indigenous rights, new public bodies, and improving the land restitution process to ease longstanding tensions.
- The commission projected that addressing the backlog of land claims could require several decades to more than a century and might cost approximately $4 billion, while between 2013 and 2024, there were 60 fatalities and close to 9,000 incidents of violence related to the conflict.
- Boric framed the plan as a historic chance for peace, urging national unity and cooperation while emphasizing that democratic tools can resolve the conflict beyond his administration.
