A modern Latin America

Chile has projected the image of a modern Latin America with the rescue of the trapped miners, the conservative daily ABC writes: "Well done, Chile! With this miner saga the country has given the world a lesson in efficiency, courage and leadership. And President Piñera has shown himself to be a leader to be reckoned with. There is a South America beyond the Bolivarian caudillos and the arrogant demagogues. A serious America that is seeking to develop towards modernity and the West; countries where political moderation has consolidated democratic progress: Lula's Brazil, Uribe y Santos Colombia, the Chile of Frei, Bachelet and Piñera. Countries with social democratic Lefts, liberal Rights, calm changes, civilised pragmatism. Constructive democracies which set standards for efficient politics without absurd paramilitaries and rampant corruption."
