CHILE: Piñera panders to parties
After coming under fire from prominent members of his Coalición por
el Cambio for stacking his cabinet with technocrats, the president-elect,
Sebastián Piñera, made a gesture to the two main parties making up the coalition
when it came to naming his deputy ministers. The majority of his 31 appointments
as deputy ministers, who will assume their positions when Piñera takes office on
11 March, come from the Unión Demócrata Independiente (UDI) and Renovación
Nacional (RN).
