      Left holds Chile 

      01/16/2006 15:25 
      Left reinforces its position in Latin America 

      After years of bloodthirsty, tyrannical, Fascist dictatorships backed by 
Washington, the last decade has seen progressive regimes installed across Latin 
America as the people take the reigns of power into their own hands. Yesterday, 
Chile elected its first woman president, Michelle Bachelet, who will continue 
the centre-left policy of her predecessor, Ricardo Lagos Escobar.

      With 53.5% of the vote, Michelle Bachelet, 54, beat the right-wing 
candidate, Sebastian Pinera, to become Chile's first ever woman president, 
swept to power on a promise of more work and a continuation of President Lagos' 
socially progressive policies. She has promised to enhance the role played by 
women and indiginous communities in Chile.

      From student of medicine to politician

      Michelle Bachelet was a medicine student at the time of the coup d'etat 
of General Pinochet, supported by Washington, which installed a murderous 
regime (1973-1990), during which time her father, Brigadier-General Alberto 
Bachelet, was tortured to death (1975). After being held at the Villa Grimaldi 
concentration camp, Michelle and her mother (the Socialist activist Angela 
Jeria) fled abroad (Australia and Germany), where she continued her studies, 
before returning to Chile in 1979, graduating in 1982.

      Political career

      After joining the Young Socialists, her political career began with the 
return of democracy in 1990 and in 1994, she became the advisor to the Minister 
of Health, after which she went to the USA to take a Master's in Military 
Strategy, returning to Chile to become the advisor to the Minister of Defence 
and in 1999, directior of Ricardo Lagos' presidential campaign.

      Michelle Bachelet was Health Minister From 2000 to 2002, when she was 
nominated Defence Minister.

      After taking office in March, Michelle Bachelet has pledged to undertake 
programmes to redistribute the country's wealth and alter the election system, 
making it more direct. However, her real test will be in the Chamber of 
Deputies and the Senate, where the vested interests of the political Right are 
maintained, for the time being.
