Change, Future and Hope / The centre right returns to power in Chile

Accordingly with The Economist:

"The new president is unlikely to make radical changes. He has paid regular tribute to Concertación’s achievements and will represent “a change of pilot, not of course,” suggests Patricio Navia, a political analyst. Mr Piñera grandly told a 30,000-strong victory rally in Santiago, the capital, that he aspired to make Chile into the “best country in the world”. But his government is not expected to make big shifts in policy. It is not, for example, expected to roll back the social-welfare programmes that have been a central feature of the government of Michelle Bachelet, the outgoing president. Some polls suggest that her approval rating remains over 80% (Chilean law bars presidents from running for a second consecutive term)."
