		Beyond the humiliation of Valdés, a lifetime friend of President Lagos, Chile voted to condemn Cuba’s human rights record at the Geneva UN Human Rights Commission in April—a break from the solidarity normally shown by the majority of Latin American nations.
		Although a number of prominent members of Chile’s legislative body, including leaders of Lagos's own Concertación coalition, called for the country to join Brazil and Argentina in abstaining from the Geneva vote, Chile isolated itself from the region’s historical sympathy for Cuba, demonstrating the growing influence of the U.S. in Santiago.

		Chile elected Socialist Michelle Bachelet, a 54-year-old single mother and pediatrician who suffered imprisonment, torture and exile under the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet, as its first female president.
