CHILEAN RUN-OFF PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
SANTIAGO, CHILE | 17-18 DECEMBER 2017

Sebastian Pinera will face Alejandro Guillier in a runoff election on December 17th.

Guillier, a 64-year-old former journalist, campaigned on promises to continue Bachelet’s plan to increase corporate taxes to partly pay for an education overhaul, reform the constitution and improve the pension and health care system.

Pinera, a Harvard-educated entrepreneur, has proposed to cut taxes on businesses to promote growth and promises to launch a $14 billion, four-year spending plan that includes fresh investments in infrastructure.

Chile is the world’s top copper producing country and it has been hurt by a drop-off in international demand and prices for the metal that is the backbone of its economy.

The Associated Press will provide live stand-up positions at multiple locations.
