CHILE: Piñera's weak hand on protests
Public protests have made President Sebastián Piñera's first year in
office busy, if not challenging. By and large they remain localised, triggered
by rows over land rights, labour rights and, most recently, gas prices. The
other trigger for the protests is often the government's weak communication with
the public and its recurrent mishandling of the protestors. This awkwardness
contrasts starkly with Pinera's personal, hands-on approach to the heavily
publicised miners' rescue in October 2010.
