Embattled Bachelet seeks respite as suspicion falls on Piñera
Chile’s President Michelle Bachelet tried to take the heat off her beleaguered government this week by questioning the fact, that while serving as president, her predecessor Sebastián Piñera (2010-2014) bought shares in a Peruvian fishing company, Exalmar. Claims of impropriety directed against Piñera are politically significant: although he has not formally declared his hand, he is the leading pre-candidate for election to a second term in office in the 2017 presidential race.
