Pinera is on his way to el Palacio de la Moneda with a 3%+ advantage. The first democratically elected rightest government in 50 years.
"Las naciones, como los hombres, no tienen alas; hacen sus viajes a pie, paso par paso."
"Nations, like men, do not have wings; they make their journeys on foot, step by step."
