In Chile, a 7.2-magnitude aftershock hit a central region on Thursday, the most powerful to hit Chile since the initial earthquake last week. The aftershock came shortly before right-wing billionaire Sebastián Piñera was sworn in as Chile’s new president. Piñera replaces Michelle Bachelet, a former political prisoner who took office in 2006 as Chile’s first female president. On the morning of the handover, hundreds of people gathered at the presidential palace in Santiago for a farewell ceremony. Bachelet supporters paid tribute to the outgoing president.

Bachelet Supporter #1: “She is a great example for the people, and I think she will be remembered by history, not only because she is a woman, but because of her concrete actions on social issues.”

Bachelet Supporter #2: “She has done a great job and made a great change in the country. I am very sad because Piñera, in the end, marks a regression in the political process. I believe he will manage things badly.”

Bachelet was ineligible to run for reelection under a recent change to Chilean term-limit laws. Piñera is Chile’s first right-wing president in twenty years.
