Will Chile bring back former President Bachelet?

Posted: 16 Nov 2013 05:00 AM PST

"All the studies and observations show that the Chilean people have a deep malaise because they feel unheard," says Marcela Ríos, a political scientist in the governance program of the United Nations Development Program in Santiago. Former President Bachelet left office in 2010 with a sky-high 84 percent approval rating, and if she wins the election as pollsters overwhelmingly predict, that love could be put to the test. Ms. Bachelet had plenty of rough moments in her 2006 to 2010 term. And skeptics, including her leading opponent, conservative former labor minister Evelyn Matthei, are asking if Bachelet can manage to deliver free higher education, higher taxes needed to deliver that service, and more regulation without risking the country's economic miracle.
