CHILE: Zaldívar deals for presidency of the senate
Chilean senator Adolfo Zaldívar, recently expelled from the Christian
Democrat (DC) party, has not only tipped the balance of power in the upper
chamber of congress, but has also struck a formal agreement with the rightwing
opposition bloc whereby he may become the president of the senate in March. The
shock of this further humiliation has led the ruling Concertación alliance to
negotiate with the rightwing Alianza a rotation system for the presidency of the
lower chamber.
