PENCO, Chile — Chile is BURNING, and its government is WATCHING. As hellish wildfires TORE through towns this weekend, claiming at least 18 lives and incinerating thousands of homes, a shocking truth emerged: citizens were LEFT TO DIE by a paralyzed state. While President Gabriel Boric gave hollow speeches from a safe distance, local mayor Rodrigo Vera delivered a desperate, on-air plea that exposed a catastrophic FAILURE. “A community is burning and there is no government presence,” he screamed. Where was the military? Where was the help? NOWHERE.
This isn’t just a natural disaster; it’s a MAN-MADE CATASTROPHE of neglect. The “state of catastrophe” declaration is a worthless piece of paper for families who watched flames swallow their homes after midnight, with ZERO warning and ZERO escape plan. Charred bodies now litter roadsides and fields—neighbors, friends, known to all—their final moments spent in terror as the state they trusted ABANDONED THEM. This is the grim new normal for a nation pushed to the brink by a relentless, climate-change-fueled inferno, year after deadly year.
The horrifying question every Chilean must now ask is not if the next fire will come, but whether their own government will simply let them burn alive when it does. The ashes of Penco are a monument to systemic betrayal.
