100 Women: President Michelle Bachelet says 'being nice' doesn't mean she's weak
Chile's first female President, Michelle Bachelet, says she's been judged for being a "nice" leader but she says she's tough as well.
"In my case, because I don't insult people, I don't try to speak too tough, they think it's weakness. It's not," she says.
As part of the BBC's 100 Women season, Valeria Perasso met President Bachelet in Santiago.
