CHILE: Presidential debate focuses on crime and inequality
Chile's first presidential debate - which attracted a 25.3% share of the national television audience and, according to
The Santiago Times, 16 million viewers outside the country via CNN - had two novel factors. One was the presence, for the first time since 1970, of a communist party candidate. The other, arguably of greater significance, was the appearance of Michelle Bachelet, Chile's first female presidential contender and the frontrunner in the race, by some considerably margin, due to take place on 11 December.
