Early life and family
He was born on 18 December 1943 in Concepción, the son of Francisco Javier Encina González and Suzanne Marie Moriamez Villalón, a native of Ovalle.[3]
He is married to Marta Elisa Lobos Inzunza, former councilor (2000–2004) and mayor of the Municipality of Ovalle (2004–2012). He is the father of Viviana, Loretto, and Gonzalo.[3]
Professional career
He completed his primary education at Colegio Padres Franceses in Concepción and his secondary education at Colegio San Agustín in Santiago.[3] He later enrolled in the School of Sociology at the University of Chile, where he obtained his degree.[3] He subsequently earned a Master’s degree in Economic Development from the University of Vienna in Austria.[3]
Between 1968 and 1973, he served as an academic at the University of Chile and at the Pontifical Catholic University of Valparaíso.[3] Concurrently, from 1970 to 1973, he was Director of National Programs at the National Institute for Professional Training (INACAP).[3]
After the military coup of 11 September 1973, he lived in Austria, where he studied and worked as a researcher at the Institute for Advanced University Studies (1975–1979) and as a consultant to the Austrian Institute of International Politics (1980–1986).[3]
In 1986, he was authorized to return to Chile and, from that year until 1990, served as a regional leader of his party in the Coquimbo Region.[3] From 1992 onward, he was a member of the Central Committee of the Socialist Party of Chile.[3]
Between 1990 and 1993, he was appointed Regional Ministerial Secretary of Economy for the Coquimbo Region and simultaneously taught at the University of La Serena.[3]
Political career
In 1966, during his university years, he began his political career as a student leader in the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Chile, a position he held until 1969.[3] The following year, he joined the Socialist Party of Chile (PS), serving on its Professional and Technical Commission.[3]
In 1993, he was elected deputy for the Socialist Party representing District No. 8 (Coquimbo, Ovalle, and Río Hurtado), Coquimbo Region, for the 1994–1998 legislative period, obtaining 13,360 votes (13.64% of the valid votes cast).[3] He was re-elected for the same district in December 1997 (1998–2002), with 22,301 votes (25.81%); in December 2001 (2002–2006), with 19,544 votes (20.37%); and in December 2005 (2006–2010), with 15,511 votes (14.99%).[3] Alongside his list partner from the Christian Democratic Party (Chile), first Jorge Pizarro Soto and later Patricio Walker, he achieved the electoral "doubling" (doblaje) in District No. 8.[3]
