Chile Mapuche advisors warn $20B Conadi land fund cut could escalate conflict

Mapuche advisors to Chile's Conadi warn that the government's 2027 budget proposal, which cuts over $20 billion from the land fund, could escalate land restitution conflict in the Macrozona Sur. The claim is based on advisor statements, not yet confirmed by official budget documents. This signals potential political and social unrest in a region with historical tensions.
