Chilean President Michelle Bachelet Faces More Challenges in Second Year

Source:

Chilean President Michelle Bachelet starts her second year in office on Wednesday facing declining popularity, continuing resistance to her reform agenda, and more recently allegations of corruption within her family.

Her approval rating has dropped to 31%, according to pollster Cadem. Pollster Adimark has her with 39% support, down from a high of 54% in March last year. Both firms say that recent revelations that a bank allegedly sped a loan to family members was a blow to her image.

The Bachelet administration says that it plans to keep pushing through its agenda, including promoting foreign investments, cracking down on crime, and creating two state-owned universities.
