The disappearance of Julia Chuñil, a Mapuche leader and environmental defender, lays bare state racism. Despite a recorded call in which the suspect says “they burned her,” prosecutors have sidelined the evidence, opened a leak investigation, and targeted her family.

Scientific denialism by public officials or political representatives—and the spread of their extreme narratives—poses a serious risk that must be contained in time. One example is Donald Trump, whose rhetoric is echoed in Chile by Kast and Kaiser: he calls climate change “a hoax” and recently claimed that acetaminophen use during pregnancy causes autism in babies, a claim thoroughly refuted by medical science.

The goal is to jump-start active guanaco reintroduction—the largest native land mammal in Chile.

Investigative outlet Ciper Chile obtained chat messages that appear to confirm a link between Kast and “Neuroc,” who —alongside figures such as former Canal 13 director “Patito Verde”— was identified and confronted in a TV report over the recent spread of false information on social media targeting Evelyn Matthei, Jeannette Jara, and President Gabriel Boric, among others.
