Luis Alberto Quinteros Tricot (3 October 1894 – 27 November 1981) was a Chilean lawyer and politician, member of the Socialist Party of Chile.
He served as a Senator of the Republic between 1953 and 1965.
Biography
Quinteros Tricot was born in Valparaíso in 1894, the son of Fermín Quinteros Ramírez and María Zulema Tricot Vivanco. He studied at the Instituto Nacional General José Miguel Carrera and later at the University of Chile, where he graduated as a lawyer in 1916. He married Elena Yáñez Zavala, with whom he had four children.
In 1953 he entered the Senate after winning a by-election in Santiago to replace Senator María de la Cruz Toledo, who had been disqualified. His candidacy received unusual support from the Liberal Party and the Traditionalist Conservative Party, which allowed him to easily defeat the divided Ibañismo vote.[1][2]
Public activities
From 1931 he was professor of Constitutional Law at the University of Chile. In 1938 he became director of the Santiago Penitentiary. A lifelong socialist activist, he was elected to the Central Executive Committee of the Socialist Party in 1946 and was part of the leadership of the Frente Nacional del Pueblo in 1952.
As senator, he first joined in 1953 through the by-election for Santiago (1953–1957), serving on the Permanent Commission of Hygiene, Health and Social Assistance, and the Bicameral Special Commission on Borders with Argentina. Reelected for 1957–1965, he was part of the Permanent Commissions on Constitution, Legislation, Justice and Regulation; Public Education; and Internal Police. In 1964, he also served as advisor to the state airline LAN Chile.
Quinteros Tricot was also a member of the Yacht Club of Quintero and the Chilean Maritime League.
