You have nominated such personalities as Australian Julian Assange, the director of the world famous site WikiLeaks, specialized in posting classified documents, the Nobel Peace Prize winner, Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo, the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, world famous Peruvian writer Mario Vargas Llosa, the US President, Barack Obama, the new Brazilian president, Mrs Dilma Rousseff and a living legend of today’s world, Nelson Mandela.
From the world of sports, you have nominated the 2010 World Football Champions, Spain, the Formula 1 World Champion, German Sebastian Vettel and two well known Romanian footballers, Adrian Mutu and Cristian Chivu.
An interesting nomination was that of Romanian born scientist and expert in cellular biology, Nicolae Ghinea, who is currently living in Paris and who has made considerable progress towards identifying the print of cancerous cells.
But….. ”the Personality of the Year 2010 on RRI” comes from a totally different area. Actually RRI has designated more personalities, a group of people whose fight for survival and solidarity kept millions of people around the world almost out of breath.
So….”The Personalities of the Year 2010 on RRI” are:...the 33 Chilean miners rescued on October the 13th, who fought to survive underground for almost 70 days. They remained captive underground, after the walls of the mine they were working in collapsed. “Their rescue was a victory for the whole country. After years of dictatorship, marked by internal conflicts, the whole Chilean society got united. Somehow, this tragedy offered Chileans the opportunity to regain a sense of unity”, our faithful listener Christian Ghibaudo of France motivated his nomination.
