Dauno Totoro Navarro is a Chilean political leader, historian, activist, and television personality. He is a member of the Revolutionary Workers Party (PTR) and has been a candidate for deputy and constituent for District 10.[1][2]
Totoro has criticized political agreements he considers institutional and has advocated for a free and sovereign Constituent assembly. He has maintained ties with international figures such as former Argentine presidential candidate Nicolás del Caño.[3]
Biography
The son of the writer and journalist Dauno Totoro Taulis[4] and a Chilean mother, he was born in Santiago. He holds a degree in History from the University of Chile and has been involved in student movements since his youth.
His activism led him to join the PTR, a Trotskyist party.
Political career
In the 2017 general election, he obtained 1.57% of the votes in his candidacy for deputy, and in 2021 he ran unsuccessfully for the Constitutional Convention. In both occasions, he was a candidate for the 10th District, composed by Santiago Centro, Ñuñoa, Macul, La Granja, Providencia and San Joaquín.[5]
During the 2019 Social Outburst, he was accused by the Metropolitan Intendancy of «incitement to subversion» after stating in an assembly that he hoped for the «fall of (president) Piñera».[6] However, the 7th Court of Guarantee of Santiago declared the complaint inadmissible, arguing that his statements fell within the legitimate exercise of freedom of expression. In May 2020, the government withdrew the complaint against him, acknowledging that he had committed no crime in expressing his opinions.[7]
Since 2022, Totoro has been a regular panelist on the debate show program Sin filtros, where he has engaged in debates with various public figures like comedian Checho Hirane,[8][9] pundits like Tere Marinovic[10] or Pancho Orrego,[11] or the songwriter Pablo Herrera,[12] among others.
