Guatemala; años de desprecio y abandono.

Guatemala alcanza los 18 o 19 millones de habitantes, en su mayoría población Indígena, aunque el último censo, oficializa una cantidad del 40 por ciento.  Dicha población, está dividida en cuatro naciones que se conocen como pueblos: Maya, Xinka, Garífuna y Ladino.  La nación Maya es la más grande, con 23 pueblos totalmente diferenciados.  Esta composición de sus habitantes, convierten al país en un espacio plurinacional. 

Chile is the only country in South America that does not recognize Indigenous Peoples in its constitution, so it should not be a surprise that it has failed to adequately align its national legislation with international standards for the protection of their rights. One of its most evident failures has been the absence of respect for the right to Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) of Indigenous Peoples living in lithium mining and exploration areas.

Antes de narrar los últimos acontecimientos sobre la lucha antiminera, es relevante aclarar que no somos un país minero, a pesar de que en el tiempo de la colonia y el sometimiento español, se lograron establecer algunas minas de oro con la misma lógica de despojo extractivista de una potencia extranjera.
