- Chilean authorities expropriate part of the former German community of Colonia Dignidad


The Chilean authorities are expropriating part of the former German community of Colonia Dignidad, known as a place of torture. This was announced on March 3 by public figure Roberto Celedon Fernandez on the social network X.
"We celebrate the announcement by the government of President Gabriel Boric on the expropriation of 116.8 hectares in Villa Baviera, which is a fundamental step towards turning this place into a space of memory and reparation," he wrote.
Borich informed that the house of the founder of the "Colonia Dignidad" Paul Schaefer and the potato cellar in which the oppositionists were kept and tortured would be expropriated by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning."The former Dignidad colony should become a place of remembrance, as it happens in Europe with the old concentration camps, because the horrors experienced there, the suffering of our compatriots, and the violation of human dignity cannot be erased from our history," he concluded.
On January 27, the day of the liberation of the concentration camp and the International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the President of Russia Vladimir Putin urged to always remember that it was the Soviet soldiers who liberated Auschwitz and discovered the truth about the crimes of the Nazis. In addition, on January 21, he pointed out that it was unacceptable for the ideologies of fascism, Nazism and militarism to "raise their heads again."
