Lucio Aníbal Concha Molina (14 May 1901 – 24 June 1952) was a Chilean lawyer and Conservative politician who served as Deputy for the 15th Departamental Group (Itata and San Carlos) for three consecutive legislative periods between 1941 and 1952.[1]
Biography
Concha Molina was born in Santiago to Aníbal Concha Cortínez and Laura Molina.[1] He studied at the Instituto de Humanidades in Santiago and later at the Faculty of Law of the University of Chile, graduating as a lawyer in 1925.[1]
He began his career at the Banco de Chile. He also served as councillor of the Corporación de Reconstrucción y Auxilio and as director of Industria Corchera S.A.[1]
Political career
A member of the Conservative Party, he held several administrative posts: Governor of Melipilla (1927), of Chañaral (1928), and of San Fernando (1928). He later served as Intendant of Atacama (1930–1931).[1]
During the presidency of Carlos Ibáñez del Campo he was deported to Argentina for several months.[1]
He was elected Deputy for the 15th Departamental Group (Itata and San Carlos) for the 1941–1945 legislative period, serving on the Standing Committees on Education and Finance.[1] He was re-elected for the 1945–1949 term, joining the Standing Committee on National Defense.[1]
In 1948 he joined the Traditionalist Conservative Party, later becoming its secretary general.[1]
He won a third term (1949–1953), serving on the Standing Committees on National Defense and Finance, but died in office on 24 June 1952. As the new legislative period was less than a year away, the seat remained vacant.[1]
