With the support of the Communist party, Bachelet will probably have to make concessions to the left. Perhaps this is the chance for structural reforms to be made. It's interesting to see that Camila Vallejo will run for Congress. Good luck to her. Would be wonderful if she can make changes to strengthen public education.
