SANTIAGO (Reuters) - Center-left Michelle Bachelet cruised to victory in Sunday's runoff election, as Chileans voted overwhelmingly for her plan of ambitious reforms that will seek to redress income inequality in the Andean country.
To deliver, she will need deft political operators to steer her reform blitz through Congress and negotiate with a coalition that ranges from moderate Christian Democrats to Communists closely tied to powerful student movements. But she will also need experts to deal with easing economic growth in the mining powerhouse.
