Jorge Labarca Moreno (25 March 1901 – 20 September 1971) was a Chilean lawyer and liberal politician.
He was elected to the Chamber of Deputies for the Osorno–Río Negro constituency in 1941; however, his mandate was annulled following a ruling by the Electoral Qualification Court, and he did not take office.[1]
Biography
Labarca Moreno was born in Osorno, Chile, on 25 March 1901, the son of Jaime Labarca Manríquez and Rosario Moreno Ogaz.[1]
He completed his secondary education at the Liceo of Osorno and at the San Ignacio College in Santiago. He later studied law at the University of Chile, qualifying as a lawyer in 1929.[1]
He practiced law in Valparaíso, Concepción and Valdivia.[1]
Political career
A member of the Liberal Party, Labarca Moreno served as municipal councillor (*regidor*) of Osorno and later as mayor of the city between 1938 and 1941.[1]
In the 1941 parliamentary elections, he was elected Deputy for the Osorno and Río Negro constituency. His election was initially confirmed by the Electoral Qualification Court; however, following challenges related to a technical tie and vote recount, the Court ultimately ruled to exclude him from Congress. As a result, conservative candidate José María Pinedo Goycochea assumed the seat shortly after the beginning of the legislative term.[1]
