Chile celebrates bicentennial with miners' in focus

The process of search, discovery, and Chile to rescue 33 miners could return to normal life can not be separated from the role of first lady Cecilia Morel Montes Chile. Women born January 14, 1954, the wife of President Sebastian Pinera, encouraged her husband to immediately rescue the miners.

The President said his wife, Cecilia Morel, encouraged her to fly to the area of mining in the Atacama Desert, San Jose, north of Santiago, capital of the country. Pinera said he asked his wife had to "fly to the north, to the mines as an homage to the father (of his wife) who had died". "Pinera complied with immediately and after he comes the miracle had happened," wrote The Observer edition of October 17, 2010.

From the narrative Pinera is known, the whole process of rescue for 33 miners Chile does not just happen without the role of First Lady Cecilia Morel. With the eyes of his heart as a mother, Cecilia has sought rescue 33 miners and it is changing the world view of Chile. In fact, efforts to rescue miners have inspired the world.

Rescue from the beginning to find 33 miners were desperate. Over the past 17 days, the officer can not communicate with the miners so that the experts had suggested to no longer need to bother looking. Remembering the father who had died, Cecilia asks her husband immediately found the miners alive or dead in honor of his late father.

Miracle ensued. After various attempts and after Pinera to the Atacama, he could make a phone conversation with one of the miners, Luis Urzua, who proclaim under all the miners survived despite the passage in the mine collapsed. The conversation was thrilling sense of humanity Pinera so he took the important decision to conduct rescue operations at any cost.

Mother of state in the country does have a role different and often very flat and not prominent in its role to support their husbands in times of crisis. Generally appear harsh criticism and cynicism that the First Lady only really as a companion husbands and have no social and political role for the community, nation and country.

Councilor family

In the history of the world, the public knows, for example, the figure of the first wife of U.S. President, George Washington, the First Lady Martha Washingtong. He has a prominent role for the community until there is a special library dedicated to remember. So also with Eleanor Roosevelt, who was recorded as the first woman to play a major role for the lives of women and the emancipation figures.

In Africa, a number of countries involved and the mother is directly involved in various social and humanitarian issues. As the BBC broadcast, First Lady of Sierra Leone, Namibia, Ghana, Zambia, and Uganda, for example, actively promoting education, developing rural areas, fight for the eradication of poverty, and combating HIV / AIDS.

This time, the world also must record the name Cecilia Morel as a woman who has played a major role, even the real brains in the morning rescue 33 miners. She is the mother country in a very precarious vortex problem that is born is also a spectacular effort and heroic rescue of 33 miners Chile.

Amid the pessimism of many experts and rescue, Cecilia would appear and speak to the conscience that dead or alive, the miners should still be found.

Just like her husband, Cecilia was unable to hold back tears when Florencio harunya Avalos, miners first, appear. Similarly, when Luis Urzua, the last miners, was saved. Thanks to his experience during 30 years as a family adviser, Cecilia, to accompany miners to the hospital in Copiapo. He provides training for miners remain calm breathing. Conscience of a mother to save 33 miners Chile.
