Héctor Montero Soto (7 October 1918 – 15 June 1953) was a Chilean politician and member of the Popular Socialist Party (PSP).
He served as a Deputy for the 3rd Departmental Group ―Copiapó, Chañaral, Huasco and Freirina― during the 1953–1957 legislative period, but his term was cut short by his sudden death in 1953.[1]
Biography
He was born in Constitución, on 7 October 1918, the son of Hípólito Montero and Sara Soto.[1] He married Carmen Contreras Agurto, with whom he had two daughters.[1]
Montero joined the Popular Socialist Party at the age of 17, on 9 January 1936.[1] He was elected Deputy for the 3rd Departmental Group (Copiapó, Chañaral, Huasco and Freirina) for the 1953–1957 term and served on the Standing Committee on Medical-Social Assistance and Hygiene.[1]
His career in Congress was brief: on 15 June 1953 he died at the age of 35 while on a party mission, in a tragic air accident.[1] His remains were laid in state at the Party’s Central Headquarters and later transported by special train to Talca, where he was buried in the family mausoleum.[1]
