The person who I admire

The person who I more admire is Gladys Marin, she was a communist activist equal than me.

Gladys Marin was born in Curepto and arrived to Santiago when she was 11 years old. In Santiago, she studied differential pedagogy and, during this same period, she joined the Communist Party in which was the first general secretary female. Besides, Gladys Marin was elected to the chamber of deputies in 1965, and again in 1970, representing to the working class of Chile faithfully.

In 1973 she had to go to Holanda because in Chile the Dictator Pinochet released a coup contrary to Salvador Allende. Then, Gladys Marin returned to Chile, clandestinely, in 1978, since this moment, she started a trudge struggle for the emancipation of folk of Chile.Gladys Marín died of brain cancer, upon her death the government declared two days of national mourning. For her funeral the PCCh and her family organized a march through the center of Santiago.

It that I admire to Gladys Marin is your conviction for the justice, democracy and promote the defence of folk around the world.

Gladys Marin is an exemplary person and a model for communist activists of the world.
