Oh, how those happy days...after the miraculous rescue of 33 miners trapped underground for 69 days...have soured for President Pinera.
A lawyer says that 31 of the 33 miners have filed a lawsuit against the government... seeking $541k each in damages.
The lawsuit is over the mining agency's failure to ensure safety measures.
"This lawsuit is only to set a precedent so this won't happen again," said miner Omar Reygadas. "It's so that conditions improve."
