FT ONLINE/Profile Of Sabatian Pinera/
After 19 years of leftist control in Chile, right-winger Sebastian Pinera has a big lead for the December election.
One of the nation's richest men – known as “Chile’s Silvio Berlusconi”– PiƱera wants to bring efficiency to government. “Efficiency isn’t a word that only interests the world of private companies. Efficiency is a word that does – or ought to – interest the world of politics,” he says.
But critics have raised questions about his business activities.
