Honestly, the president is using this as a conquest and the mining co. is trying to ward off the attention from what really should be the focus.

Why did the accident happen? On which conditions were the miners working? What should be their reparation? What is the responsability of the mining company? What can be sdne to avoid another accident like this?

I don't know why I would be screaming my country's name after being let for days 700 meters bellow the surface. The rescue was an obligation, not a heroic act.

Chileans must open their eyes...
