Al Jazeera: COA's Eric Farnsworth on Chile's Upcoming Elections

COA’s Eric Farnsworth talks to Al Jazeera about Chile’s election scenario and the challenges that lie ahead for the next presidential leader. Farnsworth explains that many of the voters in Chile want better education and health care, as well as economic growth. The next leader—most likely former President Michelle Bachelet—will now have to respond to these requests and a student protest movement. “She has laid out an agenda which is broadly centrist, but it does have some redistributive quality in terms of higher taxes on some and new social spending for others,” he points out.
