COPIAPO, Chile .— Mary Herrera, mother of the Bolivian miner, told ERBOL Network, there is no condition to return to Bolivia, so they prefer to stay in the trans-Andean country of Chile where he was welcomed and he has better offers of jobs and also there is economic stability.

"In Bolivia there are no conditions to live, I had to leave my house abandoned in Cochabamba," said the interview, while making clear that the offer of President Evo Morales "is far from certain."

The President of the Bolivian state, after visiting the miner Mamani in the Regional Hospital of Copiapo, where he remained under medical observation, said to international media that he had offered to his fellow a job with all the social benefits.
