Damián del Carmen Uribe Cárdenas (2 October 1909 – 15 February 1994) was a Chilean miner, trade union leader, and politician affiliated with the Communist Party.[1]
Biography
Born in Coronel to Manuel Uribe and Petronila Cárdenas, he married Alejandrina de Dios Reyes Figueroa in 1937.[1]
He worked as a coal miner in the mines of his hometown and became a prominent union leader. In 1939 he served as Secretary-General of the Federation of Mining Unions of Arauco.[1]
During the clandestine period of his party —when it operated under the name “National Progressive Party” due to a 1932 legal provision— he continued his political activism within the Communist movement.[1]
He was elected Deputy for the 17th Departamental Group, comprising Concepción, Talcahuano, Tomé, Yumbel and Coronel, for the legislative period 1941–1945, serving on the Standing Committee on Agriculture and Colonization.[1] Reelected for the period 1945–1949, he joined the Standing Committee on Economy and Commerce.[1]
