They also failed to get a two-thirds majority to restructure the 1981 constitution of Chile enacted during the Augusto Pinochet regime. Wake Forest political science Professor Peter Siavelis suggested: "The [congressional elections] result will surely be disappointing for Bachelet. Social movements that have spilled onto the streets are demanding reform, yet the limits of the institutional structure of Chile are going to limit her capacity to engage in reform. Even though Bachelet may be the winner tonight she is not in an enviable position." The Washington Post said that Bachelet's "legacy now rides on her ability to craft a coalition for far-reaching structural and particularly political reform." It also questioned what a low turnout could mean for her mandate, which it said was not clear enough as she had to go to a second round. The Huffington Post drew the 40th anniversary of the 11 September coup as a more than subtle backdrop to the election while saying the election was a referendum on Pinochet.https://www.huffingtonpost.com/gary-villablanca-duff/chiles-election-a-referen_b_4293218.html Chile's Election: A Referendum on Pinochet Gary Villablanca Duff Huffingtonpost.com 18 December 2013 2013-12-21 Notes References External links Election results from 1989 to 2012 (Servel) Chile General Category:Parliamentary elections in Chile Category:Presidential elections in Chile Chile Chile Category:Presidency of Sebastián Piñera
