Description
In Chile, center-right Sebastian Piñera replaces center-left Michelle Bachelet as president on March 11. Meanwhile, El Salvador’s March 4 legislative and municipal elections saw conservative parties picking up seats at the governing party’s expense. But, in both cases, to what degree did voters turn right and to what degree did they turn against the parties in control? Carin Zissis speaks with American University’s Héctor Silva Ávalos about what El Salvador’s election means for next year’s presidential race and Elizabeth Gonzalez talks with NYU’s Patricio Navia about what Piñera will seek to accomplish in his first 100 days.
