First, a look at the numbers: the president-elect won the second-round vote with only a slight popular majority (51.6%), and will have fewer seats than the Concertación in the Senate. The rough balance of power that has characterized Chilean politics over the past 20 years will continue during Piñera’s four-year term: only incremental, negotiated change will be possible.
皮涅拉会为智利带来多大变化？首先让我们来关注一组数据：当选总统仅以极其微弱的优势（ 51.6% ）赢得了第二轮投票，而且在参议院的席位数仍低于执政联盟。过去 20 年来一直统治智利政治的大致权力平衡将在皮涅拉的四年任期中得以延续：只有双方协商的修修补补才会成为可能。
