Biography

He was born in Concepción on 4 March 1887, the son of Alberto Moller Zerrano and Noemí Bordeu Olivares. His brothers Fernando, Víctor and Manuel Moller Bordeu were also Radical Party (PR) politicians. He completed his primary studies at the Liceo of Concepción and his secondary education at the Technical Commercial Institute of Concepción.

Professional career

He devoted himself to agricultural activities, operating his estate known as Vaquería in the locality of Coigüe, in Biobío Province.

Political career

A member of the Radical Party, he was one of the founders of the Radical Assembly of Nacimiento and served as a municipal councilor of Negrete.

He was elected as a member of the Chamber of Deputies for the 19th Departmental Circumscription (La Laja, Nacimiento and Mulchén) for the 1926–1930 legislative period. During this term he served on the standing Committee on Agriculture and Colonization, as well as on special mixed committees on Agricultural Colonies and Customs Tariffs in 1927.

Following a brief recess, he was re-elected deputy for the same constituency for the 1933–1937 term, serving on the standing Committees on Labor and Social Legislation and on Industries.

In the 1937 parliamentary elections he was elected senator for the 7th Provincial Grouping, comprising the provinces of Ñuble, Concepción and Arauco, for the 1937–1945 term. He served on the standing Committees on Foreign Relations and Trade and on Public Works and Communications, chairing the latter.

He was re-elected senator for the same constituency for the 1945–1953 term, continuing his work on the Public Works and Communications Committee. During this period he also served as a councilor of the Central Board of Public Welfare between 1946 and 1947.

During his parliamentary career he sponsored bills that were later enacted into law, including Law No. 5,722 on public loans for the municipalities of Mulchén and Collipulli, and Law No. 8,442 providing funding for the University of Concepción.

Other activities

He was a member of the Southern Agricultural Consortium and served as a member and director of the National Society of Agriculture (SNA). He also belonged to several social clubs, including the Concepción Jockey Club, Club Concepción, the Radical Club of Concepción, the Club de La Unión, the Radical Club of Santiago, and social clubs in Los Ángeles and Angol.

He died in Santiago on 20 February 1950, while still in office as senator, and was succeeded by former Radical deputy Fernando Maira.
