CHILE: Bachelet unveils her ministerial team
Chile’s president-elect Michelle Bachelet, who is due to begin her second (non consecutive) four-year term on 11 March, has unveiled her 23-member cabinet. Her choices were always likely to attract scrutiny given the challenging task of balancing competing interests from the five parties in her Nueva Mayoría coalition, an electoral alliance forged last year between the Partido Comunista de Chile (PCCh) and the traditional quadripartite Concertación (comprising Bachelet’s Partido Socialista [PS] along with the Partido por la Democracia [PPD]; the Partido Democracia Cristiana [PDC] and the Partido Radical Social Demócrata [PRSD]).
