Early life and education
Muñoz Alegría was born in Molina on 12 June 1901, the son of Isidoro Muñoz and Juana Alegría.
He studied at the Liceo de Talca and the Liceo de Curicó, then pursued general pedagogy at the Pedagogical Institute of the University of Chile. Although trained as a teacher, his early career began in public administration, working at the Caja de Seguro Obligatorio (Mandatory Insurance Fund) in 1926.
Political career
A lifelong member of the Radical Party, Muñoz Alegría first gained prominence as president of the Radical Youth (1924–1925). He was elected Deputy for the 1st Metropolitan District (Santiago) in the 1941 elections, serving on the Permanent Commission of Labor and Social Legislation.
Re-elected for the 1945–1949 term, he joined the Permanent Commission of National Defense. In the 1949–1953 period, he participated in the Permanent Commission of Constitution, Legislation and Justice.
Although defeated in the 1953 elections, he remained active in party politics, serving as president and vice-president of the Santiago Radical Assembly and becoming national president of the Radical Party in 1951.
Muñoz Alegría returned to the Chamber of Deputies for the 1957–1961 legislative period, again representing Santiago. He served on the Permanent Commissions of National Defense and of Public Works and Infrastructure.[1]
After leaving Congress, Muñoz Alegría continued his involvement in civic affairs and education until his death in Santiago on 13 December 1982, aged 81.
