Political career
A militant of the Liberal Party, Acuña Robert was first elected Deputy for the Fifth Departmental Circumscription (Petorca, La Ligua, Putaendo, San Felipe and Los Andes) for the 1926–1930 legislative period. During this term, he served as a replacement member of the Standing Committees on War and Navy and on Labour and Social Welfare, and as a full member of the Standing Committee on Roads and Public Works.[1]
He was re-elected for the same circumscription for the 1930–1932 period, assuming office on 14 September 1931 as a replacement for José Manuel Ríos, who had been appointed Minister of Education and Justice. During this term, he served as a replacement member of the Standing Committees on War and Navy and on Constitutional Reform and Regulations, and as a member of the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare. His mandate was interrupted following the dissolution of the National Congress in June 1932.[1]
In the October 1932 parliamentary elections, he was again elected Deputy, this time for the Fifth Departmental Grouping (Petorca, San Felipe and Los Andes), for the 1933–1937 legislative period. He served on the Standing Committees on Internal Police and Regulations and on Industries.[1]
Acuña Robert died on 13 August 1934, before completing his final legislative term.[1]
