Post 5

In this post, Im going to talk about one of the characters that I admire. Some consider him the best president in the history of Chile. He is Pedro Aguirre Cerda.

He was born in Pocuro, Valparaíso in 1879, and died in Santiago in 1941, exercising the presidency. He died due to tuberculosis. He died being very popular, so much that after he died a district was founded in his name. It is popularly known as "Don Tinto", because of its link with the wine industry.

In his management, he made the production of the country grow, creating CORFO. He made the Chilean territory grow, since in his government he claimed the Chilean territory in the Antarctic. . But, mainly in his government, education was encouraged, with the motto of "Governing is Education". He also had to take charge of the 1939 earthquake.

I like it because he is an example of efficient Public Administration. However, it must be said that it was another era.
