An Argentine was the protagonist of an incident in a supermarket in Chile, during which he insulted and assaulted employees accusing them of theft. The altercation took place in the Unimarc supermarket in Isla de Maipo when he was pointed out for alleged theft of merchandise. The argument moved to the street and was recorded in a video that went viral on social media.
In the images, the man can be heard hurling racist and derogatory insults, such as "die, hypocrites, hungry bastards, sons of bitches," directed at the workers of the establishment. The aggressor is seen approaching an employee aggressively, calling him "son of a Mapuche" and expressing his hatred towards him. Despite attempts to calm the situation, the individual continues with his offenses and threats.
At one point, the man realizes he is being recorded and, far from retracting, increases his discriminatory remarks. He references the nationality of the employees and hurls insults at various nationalities, showing a clear xenophobic behavior. The person recording manages to capture the license plate of the vehicle the aggressor was traveling in.
The authorities have not yet officially commented on the incident. The video has generated shock and rejection on social media, where many users have condemned the violent and discriminatory attitude of the individual. The Chilean and Argentine communities have expressed their repudiation of such behaviors, emphasizing the importance of respect and peaceful coexistence among people of different nationalities.
