SANTIAGO (Reuters) - Chile President Michelle Bachelet said she will reshuffle her entire cabinet in the next few days, a surprise announcement that indicates the depth of her concern about a collapse in her popularity.

"A few hours ago I requested the resignation of all the ministers, and I will take 72 hours to decide who will stay and who will go," she said in an interview with a local TV station on Wednesday evening.
