Manuel Bart Herrera (16 December 1886 – 8 November 1962) was a Chilean politician who served as member of the Chamber of Deputies.[2]

Biography

He completed his secondary studies at the Liceos of Concepción and Talca.[1]

He married Nolfa Anabalón Venegas in Temuco in 1931, with whom he had four children. In a second marriage, he married Lorenza Antipán Cheuquellanca in Cautín on 2 June 1962.[1]

Political career

He joined the Unión Social Republicana de Asalariados de Chile, becoming one of its principal organizers in 1925.[1]

He was elected as a deputy for Concepción, Talcahuano and Coelemu for the 1925–1930 term, serving on the Education Commission.[1]

In 1931 he became one of the founders of the Agrarian Party. He was elected deputy for Temuco, Imperial and Villarrica for the 1932–1937 term, serving on the Finance; Agriculture and Colonization Commissions.[1]

Re-elected for 1937–1941, he served on the Economy and Trade Commission.[1]

Again elected for 1941–1945, he sat on the Finance and Interior Government Commissions.[1]

He joined the Agrarian Labor Party in 1945. He was elected deputy again for the 1953–1957 term for the same district, serving on the Agriculture and Colonization Commission.[1]

In 1954, the faction he led within the party —the «Recuperacionista» group— opposed the official leadership headed by Rafael Tarud and reorganized independently.[1]

In August 1956, he entered the National Party, joining its leadership and supporting the presidential candidacy of Jorge Alessandri Rodríguez (1958).[1]
