The attacks were preceded by the cutting of numerous trees that were later placed on the roads in the area in order to avoid timely action by the police.
The first action was carried out against the Santa Elvira campsite, in Contulmo, and the successive actions affected properties separated by a great distance, among them the municipal campsite of the city of Cañete. All the venues were preparing to receive a large number of tourists in the boreal summer that began this Tuesday.
Witnesses told Bío Bío radio that the attackers were carrying rifles and shotguns and fired numerous shots to intimidate the inhabitants of the area.
According to Pablo Urquízar, presidential delegate of the South Macrozone, the attacks are related to “the extension of the state of Exception that yesterday (Monday) was approved by the Chilean Chamber of Deputies and that today is being discussed in the Senate. “
The government authority also related the attack to the fact that this week the Judiciary will know “the conviction of seven people who are currently in preventive detention, and that precisely these people are directly or indirectly linked to these radicalized organizations that operate in area”.
The regional government of Biobío, for its part, repudiated the attacks that “continue to brutally affect tourist activity.”
“The new government of Chile must advance in the integral solution, not only in security, but also in political, economic and social matters“said the regional government via Twitter.
In the commune of Cañete, armed hooded men entered in two vehicles to a farm belonging to a forestry company where they stole two trucks. Police officers found another truck that had been completely incinerated in the Puente Pellehue sector.
