Marina Victoria Prochelle Aguilar (9 December 1941–7 February 2022) was a Chilean politician who served as deputy.[1][2][3]
Biography
She was born in Valdivia on 9 December 1941, the daughter of Luis Eduardo Prochelle and Filomena Aguilar.[4] She was married and was the mother of three children.[4]
She completed her primary and secondary education at a Catholic school in Valdivia and later at a high school in the same city.[4] She graduated as a State Teacher in Biology and Chemistry from the Universidad Austral de Chile in Valdivia. She also completed postgraduate studies in Educational Planning and Administration.[4]
Professionally, she worked as a teacher in several educational institutions, including the Instituto Alemán de Valdivia, the Liceo de Purranque—of which she was a founder—the Liceo de Hombres de Osorno, the Colegio Inmaculada Concepción de Osorno, and the Osorno College, among others.[4]
Political career
During the government of President Salvador Allende, she led a teachers' professional organization affiliated with other unions that at the time expressed dissatisfaction with the government of the Popular Unity. This marked her first involvement in political activity.[4]
Between 1973 and 1975, she served as Provincial Education Coordinator of the Tenth Region. From 1975 to 1977, she held the position of Regional Ministerial Secretary of Education of the same region. Afterward, she returned to teaching until political parties were reactivated in 1988.[4]
She was elected president of the Confederación Democrática de Osorno (CODEMA), an organization associated with the Confederation of Democracy (CODE) coalition, which opposed Allende's government. She also served as provincial president of the Movimiento Mujeres por Chile.[4]
In 1988, she joined National Renewal, where she served as regional president until 1990. In 1989, she left her professional career to dedicate herself to her political campaign.[4]
She died on 7 February 2022 in Viña del Mar.[4]
