Hi everybody! I have been missing in the last time but I´m back! Well, this time I am going to write about  a great Chilean: Clotario Blest.

Clotario was a union leader, founder of several organizations, including the “Agrupación Nacional de Empleados Fiscales (ANEF), the Central Única de Trabajadores(CUT) and the Movimiento de  Izquierda  Revolucionaria (MIR). He borned November 17, 1899, his parents were Ricardo Blest and Leopoldina Riffo, when Clotario was a boy, his father died and Leopoldina had to work as a primary school teacher, growing in the misery.

Him in his youth studied teology and entered to Seminario Pontificio Mayor so it was a great believer in God, but never had a religious vocation, so he left the Seminario P. Mayor.  Clotario started to social activities when he met Emilio Recabarren,  he was very worried about the situation in his country, consciousness created by his childhood and youth in poverty, so he always tried to raise awareness and seek solutions, provided by the hand of God and religion.

One of the most important activities of Clotario, what I said before, the foundation of ANEF, MIR and CUT, in addition to the foundation of Comité de los “ Sin casa”, but I think the important thing was the creation and the fight for a fairer Chile, thought of the dispossessed, being always consistent with their ideals and actions.

If I have the opportunity of ask or tell him something, I don’t know what, I have a lot of things in my head!!
