President changes tack amid crisis

By Associated Press in Santiago, Chile | China Daily | Updated: 2015-05-09 08:34

In shaking up her entire Cabinet, Chilean President Michelle Bachelet is trying to salvage an ambitious reform package amid growing scandals, and contain a political crisis.

Bachelet surprised the country late on Wednesday by announcing she had asked for the resignations of all her ministers and in the coming days would work on building a new team.

The president's coalition controls both chambers of Congress but her agenda has hit obstacles such as a slowing economy, the lowest approval ratings of her political career and a string of corruption scandals.
